Most Founders Guess Their Budget, And That’s Where Everything Goes Wrong
The #1 reason founders get stuck, overspend, or delay their launch is simple:
They never understood the real cost of apparel development.
This leads to:
- Picking the wrong manufacturer
- Ordering samples too early
- Redoing designs (and paying for revisions)
- Unexpected fees
- Missed timelines
- And burning thousands unnecessarily
This free tool gives you the same clarity and planning structure that premium founders use before investing $10K–$100K+ into development.
Real Clients. Real Brands. Real Results.
