Sneakers By Jordana, an Ann Arbor, MI-based customizable sneaker design company, raised $100k in seed funding.
University of Michigan’s Zell Founders Fund made the investment which was released in two installments of $50k, the second of which will be released at selling at least 50% of her first batch of product.
The company intends to use the funds to design, produce and sell products at a faster rate.
Founded by University of Michigan alumna Jordana Schrager, BBA ’16, Sneakers by Jordana LLC designs and sells sneakers.
