I co-founded Quincy in June 2011. Quincy was a tech-enabled fashion startup. We developed a line of women’s work apparel based on a proprietary sizing model taking into account bust and height. Our clothes were designed and manufactured in the heart of NYC’s garment district and sold direct-to-consumer via our ecommerce website.

During our time running Quincy, we raised $950K in seed funding from VCs and angel investors, built a local apparel supply chain, produced 4 seasons of clothing, developed 3 ecommerce sites, garnered a heck of a lot of press, and built a loyal following of customers.

After almost 2 years spent building the business, we ran out of cash before we were able to fully master the art and science of apparel design and production. I don’t have any regrets, but I do have a lot of learnings.

I decided to start a blog for a few reasons.

1. To help other early stage entrepreneurs.
2. To clear my head after an 18-month marathon that is startup life.
3. To figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

I would love it if you would submit questions or comment on any of my ramblings. I will incorporate questions/topics from people I meet with as well as whatever is on my mind. Let’s see where this goes!
