Funding Usage
My goal is to bring awesome, affordable, super-fun clothes to everyone. Trippy Beanz has helped me combat depression and anxiety. It helped me stay connected and present in the moment. It has given me a reason to keep going and I have so many ideas! I would love to give back to my community and this grant would help me do that. Right now, we are only three, and space is extremely limited. Trippy Beanz has shown continuous growth and with the right tools and space we can do even more! Starting with our hometown, and then hopefully the world. I would love to host a community pop up event! Give away some of the merchandise to the children/families in my hometown. I would also try to do something with the homeless, especially the women! The money left over would be put toward a savings for a store front. I really believe in Trippy Beanz but I know that the idea and execution of becoming a business would not have been possible without the public support/feedback I have received. A lot of people believe in us as well! and I just want to be able to give back to them.

Business Plan
After officially getting my website off the ground, I plan to look into bigger spaces for executing my ideas. A store front, a warehouse, more employees, more merchandise. I have tons of ideas, I am just limited on resources. Within the first year I would love to open the first Trippy Beanz store. Trippy Beanz is a super fun, out of this world clothing brand intended for people of all ages. The brand was created during one of my darkest moments and is inspired by the life around me. Like many, I suffered and struggled throughout 2020 but I lost my mom, Ann Marie Davis on October 31st, 2020 (trippy, right?) I had to figure out how to combat life without her. I felt stuck, I was lost. My family left me with a huge funeral bill and so many responsibilities, I started thinking of ways to compensate for all the losses. I came up with a few different ways to raise money to reach some of my goals and deadlines faster; Truthfully, I did not want a $10,000 funeral bill lingering around reminding me of all I had lost and endured during such a monstrous year. In my circle of friends, I am considered the Jack, or Jill of all trades if you will. Out of all the hobbies picked up to pass time, mend pain and close bridges I found myself awakening with a passion for my clothing brand. The name of my brand is derived from my cat, Houdini and the Beans (yes that is his name, and he is quite the character.) Houdini is a great companion, and I am truly grateful for his support and energy. He is super trippy, life has been super trippy and I just ran with the two! I have 2 managers. Emily and Juan. They have watched me grow and liven up around the idea of Trippy Beanz. They have witnessed the company grow. They are much younger than I. Like my little brother and sister and I have been doing my best to teach them that there are different ways to gain financial freedom. My goal is to bring awesome, affordable, super-fun clothes to everyone. Trippy Beanz has helped me combat depression and anxiety. It helped me stay connected and present in the moment. It has given me a reason to keep going and I have so many ideas! I would love to give back to my community and this grant would help me do that. Right now, we are only three, and space is extremely limited. Trippy Beanz has shown continuous growth and with the right tools and space we can do even more! Starting with our hometown, and then hopefully the world.

Self Identified Competition
I do not believe Trippy Beanz has any competitors as of yet. No one is really doing what we are doing, super personal, affordable customized Trippy merchandise for people of all ages. I can see companies such as Journeys, Zumiez, or Nike trying to imitate some of my patterns/fabrics choices, however. We are super small and family based. All of the customers we have are friends or family.. or friends and family of our friends and family. Our clothes are different. They are fun, youthful and meant to be worn by people of all ages.
