While working for the NFL (which would be a dream job for most) Nate Checketts, CEO & Co-Founder of Rhone, saw an opportunity. He noticed that almost all of the innovation that was happening in activewear space was happening on the women's side of the business. So after a discussion with his co-founder and some research, he decided that they would launch their apparel brand. There was just one small challenge, they knew nothing about fashion or eCommerce or really anything about building a brand from the ground up. But what's a small problem like that to an entrepreneur?
