Stash and Dash - Designing the Future of Sports Bras With Coco Woeltz
Manage episode 312335185 series 3232772
A good recipe for starting a successful business is identifying a problem that people have and solving that problem.
That's exactly what Coco Woeltz has done with Hummingbyrd.
Coco is a former Division 1 soccer player, and an avid runner and hiker. But when she started running marathons she realized that there wasn't a great solution for storing her phone and keys while on the move.
So she did what any normal person would do...
She visited a local Spanish-speaking seamstress and started jerryrigging a sports bra with a zipper pocket.
A few months and dozens of iterations later, Hummingbyrd was born. Coco has since applied for a patent on her proprietary design and just launched her first wave of branded sports bras.
We talked about everything in this episode from how this idea came to be, to why "Hummingbyrd," to what she has planned for the future of the brand.
