9 LIVES CO LLC | Application Preview
9 LIVES CO LLC seeks government grants to effectively expand its product offerings and enhance brand visibility within the community. The business aims to establish a strong presence in LGBTQ+ cities such as West Hollywood, CA, Northampton, MA, and New York, NY, and plans to further extend its reach through social media marketing and influencer partnerships.
The company intends to create a diverse range of clothing that is fully size-inclusive, catering specifically to the needs of the LGBTQ+ community. The founder's in-depth understanding of this community positions the brand to succeed in a market that traditionally sees significant annual engagement, particularly during Pride Month, where they face competition from established brands like H&M, American Eagle, and Hollister.
What sets 9 LIVES CO LLC apart is its commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, evidenced by the owner’s background and a policy to donate 15% of profits to organizations supporting homeless LGBTQ+ individuals. This dedication resonates with consumers who are looking for year-round support for their community rather than temporary campaigns from larger corporations. The funding would enable the company to not only grow but to create a meaningful impact within the LGBTQ+ community.

Business Plan
9 Lives Co. will target predominantly LGBTQ+ cities like West Hollywood,CA, Northampton, MA, and New York,NY to build strong brand recognition. From here we will expand through the use of social media marketing and influencers to reach a more national demographic. Our products will also expand to be a full range of clothing while remaining completely size inclusive. Investors should invest in my brand and I because we have found an industry that is only tapped into once a year. With my abundent knowledge of the LGBTQ+ community, I can produce products that the community will wear and buy year round.

Self Identified Competition
My top three competitors would be H&M, American Eagle, and Hollister during Pride Month (June). The community is tired of supporting large corporations like this so that is where my brand comes in. The difference between my brand and my competitors is that I am an LGBTQ+ owner who dedicates the brand to the LGBTQ+ community. On top of this, I donate 15% of profits to LGBTQ+ organizations to boost nd uplift our community who are homeless.
