Twice a month, Runsheet Pro members get on a live call with founder Ed O'Connell and other apparel brand founders — to gameplan sourcing, production, and whatever's actually stuck.
Join with Pro — $49/mo →No separate signup. Pro members are added to the recurring invite automatically.
MOQ math not adding up, a factory going quiet, a fabric that failed testing — come with something specific and leave with a next step, not generic advice.
13 years in tech, six of them leading talent at Amazon — then Ed left to build his own companies, including his own menswear brand and SÔZ Studios Atelier, where he works hands-on: real factory relationships, tech packs, sampling, small-batch production economics.
The people on this call are solving the same problems you are, right now — not investors, not spectators. The peer answers are often as useful as anything Ed says.
Bring the thing you're actually stuck on — a factory gone quiet, a costing sheet that doesn't pencil out, a sample that failed. We work through it together, in the room, not in a follow-up email three days later.
Everyone on the call is building a brand right now — not investors sizing you up, not vendors pitching you. The connections that come out of these rooms tend to turn into real relationships: co-manufacturing tips, factory referrals, honest "don't work with them" warnings.
On select calls, consultants, technical designers, and industry leaders join to go deep on a hot topic — tariffs, a fabric sourcing shift, a certification everyone's asking about. They show up because it puts them directly in front of the brand owners they want to work with — not a fixed weekly slot, timed to what's actually relevant.
Building a brand alone is lonely — I know because I'm doing it too. This isn't generic founder advice that has to work for everyone. It's a small room, twice a month, where people who are actually in it right now bring the real problem they're stuck on and we work it out together.
Office Hours comes included with Pro membership — $49/month, alongside unlimited warm factory introductions and monthly brief boosts. Nothing extra to buy.
You're added straight to the standing calendar invite — no separate signup, no extra email to track. It just shows up on your calendar, twice a month.
Each call runs about an hour. Drop in the sessions that are useful for where you're at — no attendance requirement, just there for when an hour with the room beats another Google search.
Office Hours starts as a founder-and-Ed conversation twice a month. Here's the direction we're building toward as the community grows.
Multi-week sessions on a single topic — launching your first run, moving from overseas to domestic, building a wholesale line — for founders who want structure over drop-in.
In-person gatherings run by founders in their own cities — the model that's built real communities elsewhere, applied to apparel manufacturing.
For founders who want more than group Office Hours — dedicated, ongoing 1:1 guidance as its own paid offering, separate from what's included with Pro.
Two calls a month. Real founders. Direct access to someone who's actually run this playbook.
