As a startup in the South that participates in the textile industry, we are quite fortunate to have such a talented group of board members and advisors that really cares about helping us grow.

We draw on their extensive experience in all of our major decisions, and their participation goes far beyond quarterly meetings.  We joke that we “have very active conversations, but don’t always reach consensus.”
