From The Ground Up
Rami Nasr, the founder of *From The Ground Up (FTGU)*, started his business 2.5 years ago with a focus on producing high-performance, stylish, and sustainable hiking socks. Based in Seattle, FTGU creates socks that highlight the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, offering designs inspired by iconic landmarks like Mount Rainier. Their target audience, "Urban Athletes," is primarily people aged 24-35 who love outdoor activities and care about sustainability. Despite working a full-time job, Rami grew the business to over $170k in sales and managed to donate around $5,000 to trail protection efforts. FTGU is now available in over 25 retail locations, and the company continues to evolve, expanding into other gear and apparel.
