Rent My Wardrobe is a female owned and operated company based in Dallas, Texas. The brand was conceptualized on the premise of empowering and equipping women to become their own entrepreneur and creating a platform to educate and motivate younger women interested in business. The beauty behind the concept is the reach of multi-layers of socioeconomic classes and age ranges of females. Users have a two-way advantage of saving money on clothes they rent and making money on clothes they list. We are dedicated to giving back to the community and creating opportunities for women to flourish. Rent My Wardrobe is the first app-based platform that facilitates a consumer to consumer rental service for women’s fashion. Put cash in your pocket by renting dresses you already own to women in your third party networks with the advantage of social media verification. The RMW app saves you time and money from high dollar department store price tags and other dress rental sites. By renting from other women in your geographical area, you eliminate high margin for shipping costs and warehouse overhead.

We believe that if you eat good things, and surround yourself with good, you’ll feel good. Simple as that. That’s why we decided to create a food company that offers real food and simple ingredients from trusted sources, promotes good health, and tastes delicious. At Good Culture, our mission is to make real healing foods available to people without hurting the planet or our animals. We are dedicated to creating the most delicious cultured dairy products made only with the highest quality ingredients you can pronounce. Our cultured dairy products are full of clean protein, live and active cultures, and have none of the bad stuff like preservatives, added hormones or gums. The “good” in Good Culture doesn’t just refer to our products. Good Culture has partnered with 1% for the Planet to support and protect our environment. Each time a consumer purchases a cup of Good Culture, 1 percent of the sale goes to a global network of nonprofit organizations dedicated to protecting the earth. In 2018, through 1% for the Planet, we proudly partnered with Kiss the Ground, whose efforts provide regenerative agriculture resources and training to farmers in hopes of reversing climate change. It’s our way of helping the earth heal itself.

High Brew Coffee was born from the adventure of a lifetime. Two boot-strapping entrepreneurs sold their company they spent 13 years building and sailed the high seas. Their need to stay alert through warm nights on rough waters brought them to cold-brewed coffee and they realized another great idea was in the works: an ice-cold, premium coffee that is convenient and portable. We're a direct trade, ready-to-drink, cold brew coffee for those who do. 100% All Natural ready-to-drink Cold-Brewed coffee born in Austin, Texas. Made from 100% Certified Fair Trade Arabica Beans. Better Not Bitter™.

Wildlife Partners is an innovative wildlife conservation company. Our model marries the desire to do good for the world with economic incentives. It has been proven that wildlife conservation does not have to be centered around an altruistic approach funded by donations. When it is accentuated by for profit motives, outsiders that would otherwise not participate, join the fight to save species from extinction. The benefits are gratification from doing a great thing for our planet, active participation in wildlife breeding/ranching, cash flow distributions and 100% tax deductions. We currently serve more than 400 private landowners in Texas and more than 70 conservation minded investors throughout the United States. Through our approach, landowners in Texas and beyond have learned how to convert their private ranches into cash flow producing wildlife sanctuaries. Additionally, we have a vehicle that provides non-landowners the ability to own wildlife, participate as a breeder, get hands on experience, generate revenue and convert tax dollars into usable assets. We have produced results and our partners love what we do! In addition to the support from within the financial community, we have developed meaningful relationships with zoos all over the United States. We have created solutions for breeding related challenges within the zoo community and our model seems to be facilitating meaningful change to the industry.
