E-Comm Startup Seeking WOC Co-Founder

al587·Jul 26, 2020

Hi! I have a creative/fashion background and I'm working on an exciting startup concept that would help empower POC-owned brands creating fashion, beauty, and luxury lifestyle products. I'm hoping to partner with another woman of color who both has the skills to build the website and the experience/ambition to lead the tech side of an e-comm business. If you're interested, or know anyone who might be, please get in touch!I would also love any advice, opportunities to partner with a mentor, or chances to connect with people working in this space. Thanks!

Hey @al587, welcome to Elpha and thanks for reaching out!Is there anything specific that you're looking for advice on? If you haven't already checked out Elpha's directory of advisors and mentors, I would definitely suggest that you do so! You can tailor the search to your needs by specifying keywords such as 'fashion' and 'beauty' (etc.!). See here: https://elpha.com/d/advisors-mentorsWe also have separate directories for Elpha Talent (members interested in new full-time opportunities) and Makers (members building products and companies) that may be worth exploring as you look to connect with others in this space. A directory OF directories can be found here: https://elpha.com/directoriesBeyond Elpha, I recently came across People of Color In Tech - would highly recommend checking it out and potentially cross-posting this there. :) https://peopleofcolorintech.com/Hope this helps and wish you all the best with your new venture!
