The Ultimate Streetwear Career Guide
A step-by-step guide to turn your passion for streetwear into a career.
Streetwear, a counter-culture-filled fashion phenomenon, draws inspiration from subcultures including hip hop, skateboarding, surfing, and graffiti.

While many want to enter the streetwear industry as an apparel designer, graphic designer, or their own brand owner, it takes an array of departments and positions to develop a streetwear collection.

Aerotrax is building a platform to modernize supply chain operations for the aviation and aerospace industries, starting with a focus on maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) establishments. Currently, MROs do not have reliable or secure ways to track parts as they move through the supply chain, leading to waste, inefficiencies, safety risks, and compliance issues that can result in fines. The lack of an easy-to-use platform has been a long-standing problem, but has become more important due to recent aviation incidents and crashes. Aerotrax aims to provide aircraft parts supply chain visibility, collaboration, and data/decision analytics to help mitigate issues like Aircraft on Ground time.
Denim is building a digital platform to streamline supply chain finance and payments for freight brokers, with plans to expand globally.

Sortile is developing a platform that uses near infrared spectroscopy to identify and sort post-consumer waste textiles by fiber composition to enable fiber-to-fiber recycling. The platform also provides customers data and analytics on the incoming waste stream's composition.

Buildstock is building a B2B marketplace and SAAS tools for the $1.4 trillion construction materials industry to create more transparency. The current industry relies on outdated tools and lacks transparency. Buildstock aims to improve pricing, payments, efficiencies and fulfillment through market data and analytics if successful. The founders are excited to have new investors who value diversity and experience in logistics and manufacturing to help revolutionize the industry.
LimeLoop provides reusable packaging and analytics to help retailers reduce costs and optimize their supply chains.
