Solid Start Earns Women's Business Certification

June 30, 2021
Solid Start recently earned certification from an organization that identifies women-owned businesses in the U.S.

June 30, 2021—Solid Start, maker of True Brand products, announced certification by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council.

Certification by the nonprofit Council identifies and celebrates women-owned businesses for marketing and networking. Florida-based Solid Start's executive team includes CEO Amber Kossak and President Crystal Mathews.

"We are so excited and grateful to receive the official stamp of approval as a female-owned business," Mathews said in a statement. "Eleven years ago, Amber and I were told that if we wanted to be successful business owners, we should have opened a coffee shop; and that we wouldn’t make it in this industry for one year. I feel so proud of what we have accomplished with so many people like yourself helping to back us."
