Greater>Than Clothing has investors!

A momentous event occurred a few days ago as I, on behalf of Greater>Than Clothing, accepted a check from two visionary investors. I’ve told a lot of people about my ideas for this company, and I’ve received a lot of new ideas and encouragement in return, but I must say that it is a completely different feeling when someone puts their own money on the line to help you achieve your vision.

It’s an amazing lift, especially considering the source. Brian and Juanita are an intelligent, adventurous couple who believe in following dreams, and I couldn’t hope for a more supportive or resourceful pair of investors. They have a great sense of community and some excellent marketing ideas, and I look forward to collaborating with them as this venture develops. Wow, I’m gushing. But hey, it’s all true. :) It was a big day for this company.

The terms of the deal were simple. In exchange for some start-up capital, they will be entitled to a fixed amount of profits after we recoup our costs. I will use the money to increase the number of designs available at launch from 2 to 4. I’m in the process of finalizing the designs and will have more details soon.

Greater>Than Clothing is not actively seeking investors at this time, but I definitely need collaborators. If you’re a designer or know one who might want some work, or if you have a cool idea for a t-shirt, drop me a line in the comments or send mail to joey [at] greaterthanclothing [dot] com.
