Affordable Kicks - Where Hard to Find Shoes Are Found
Summer Saunders and Josh Smith use a number of methods to purchase new, limited edition and vintage sneakers and clothing items that are in high demand. After authenticating each piece, items are sold on their website, through social media and in person via pop up shops throughout their region. With the assistance of the Illinois SBDC at Southeastern Illinois College, they have received no-cost guidance on how to run the business, improve their marketing materials and social media presence, and scout pop-up locations, all which have helped to increase their online followers and grow their unique customer base. Looking ahead, the pair would like to open a store and will continue to utilize the SBDC because "They give great advice!".

High School Teen Entrepreneurs Work with Indiana SBDC to Form Business
Kayla Davis and Isis Fleming started their company, Patchables as part of the Innovate WithIN high school pitch competition. Their company uses recycled clothing scraps to be upcycled as dog toy stuffing. They pivoted from their original concept twice, but pulled everything together only a few days before the end of the competition with help from their Indiana SBDC advisor. Fleming and Davis are committed to reducing waste and pollution on the planet. The next priority is transitioning the Patchables website to a more efficient e-commerce sales platform and expanding into cat toys.
