When founding Mx., a gender-neutral clothing line and events business, LJ Bauermeister was mainly relying on social media for business advice. When they connected with Elevate HennepinSM, they found a massive network of entrepreneur peers at The Coven, as well as robust back-office support including accounting, marketing, planning, and legal advisors.
“I was like, ‘Oh, yep, I also need that, I guess I need this, this, and this.’ I needed like everything actually,” said Bauermeister.
