Additionally, we want to hear your story! Tell us why you made the product. Did it satisfy a need you had, or did you “re-imagine” a product to better serve your needs? Either way, we want to know the “why” behind the brand. Make sure you tell us about the brand name as well. Some names are easy to understand but if there is a significance with your name, color or logo, be sure to include that information too. Do you have a patent? Have you trademarked your name and logo?

We want to know as much as we can about you. It’s not just the product we invest in, we invest in the person too.

18. Can I resubmit a product?

Once you have heard back from us regarding a product, please do not resubmit that product , unless within the submission process SLC reached out and gave feedback which would then cause you time to fix, change or alter your product. Then re-submitting would take a different path and you would not go through the same website link. If you have additional products in the future, you are always welcome to submit those.

19. What does it mean if SLC determines they don’t want to invest in my product?

There are several reasons SLC might determine not to invest:

The product just isn’t ready for retail or representation
SLC doesn’t see the market for the product as you represented
Your “ask” was unrealistic
SLC doesn’t think we can add any significant value to your business
The brand doesn’t really need an investment and sometimes other options will be given
The product isn’t of interest at this time to SLC -sometimes SLC looks for specific categories to round out its portfolio- Your timing could be off.
