Foteini Chalkia
CHALKIA | 9th round
CHALKIA was created to offer the modern woman the diversity she desires in her special moments but also in her daily life. For this reason, the collections are divided into Haute Couture-Bridal and Pret-a-Porter. The company addresses to women who want to be different but also authentic. To women who know who they are, who want to tell a story through their clothes. Women who know and appreciate the history of fashion.
Creating a company requires some specialized knowledge that I did not have, and was beyond my specialization. I thought that an entrepreneurship program would help me gain some basics in the entrepreneurial field. After searching in various seminars, I found VentureGarden, which was ideal for me at that time since I had an idea, but I did not know how to implement it.
For me the program was an opportunity to answer questions regarding the viability of my idea, its target audience, the clarification of what my product will offer to the customer, but also the necessary steps to implement it. It helped me to put my thoughts and goals in order, to find out exactly what my product will be and why, to be able to cost the steps for the beginning of the company.
