Made It Out · Being a Queer Female Founder w/ Natalie White · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

And so we took those two things, we combined them, and in partnership with Jones & Vining, we created the inner mold, which is responsible for the fit of all of our shoes.

Yeah.

I think—

Absolutely.

I think it changes the amount of funding you need where you're short on what, whether it's resources or capacity or cash, really changes depending on what stage of the business you're in and what you're trying to tackle.

So at that point, this is still 2019.

I'm in college and I didn't need any additional funding to do this, right?

Because I had everything there.

I didn't know what I didn't know yet.

So I'm just starting.

So I'm not sure what I need yet.

So almost the naivete is like... Oh, it's amazing.

Yes.

And so once we had that last, then I went out and hired a freelance designer who made designs against it, pitched to 30 factories, 30 no's, finally landed one out of Dongguan, China, who it was a not so great factory that was making kid shoes.

And when they're making kid shoes, everything's

a little bit of a lower quality.

They use different materials for children's products.

I don't know if folks are familiar, but we're making our first samples out of there.

And to answer more directly your first question, the number one piece of feedback we got from players when they were wear testing the shoes is, oh my God, these take no time to break in.
