Recently, I read about a fashion designer that got some funding from an insurance company! The insurance company was Canada Life. And they gave a $10k dollar grant for the designer to pivot her business from wedding dresses to casual wear and masks.
So, how do you find out about these things apart from happening to get a feed suggestion from Google :)? Well, you have to check companies’ communities pages. Each company generally specializes in certain areas. So, I checked a few where there might be a possibility for fashion related businesses.
I’ll break it down between Canada and the US. I listed just a few from searching the internet and I’ll add more when I get a chance.
