In this episode of the Gamechangers podcast, I’m talking to Suann Song, founder & creative director behind Appointed, the stationary company bringing you insanely gorgeous everyday, elevated paper goods. Or put another way, "Beautiful Tools to Inspire Beautiful Work." With 60 product lines stocked in over 350 retailers across the country, Appointed has seen some serious growth since its launch three years ago. Suann talks about writing a business plan, how she funded the launch through a successful Kickstarter campaign of over 700 investors, how she showed proof of concept at the onset, and how she designed the business to be scalable from day one. Enjoy!
