So What is Business Class?
The Premier Entrepreneurship Program for Founders and Founders-to-be

“I can hands down say that Business Class is not like any other masterclass in the market. It’s a no-fluff, no-BS approach to business. It’s soooo extensive! From marketing, to legal, to finance, and more! I’ve never been sooo immersed with an online community ever.”

“Business Class introduced me to so many concepts that I didn’t even know about beforehand. It helped round out my knowledge base as an entrepreneur. In addition, it gave me a great community of fellow entrepreneurs to rely on. I also launched my business, sold about 150 bags in 69 orders, and generated $10,000 in revenue!”

“Just quit my day job and feel super liberated! So many of you had inspired me to take this leap and gave me the confidence to trust that things will work out for the better! I’m so excited to have my very own business be my main focus moving forward. Thank you Business Class for changing my life!”

“Business Class found me at a very transitional point in my life but it was the kick in the ass I needed to push past my fears of the unknown. I’m proud to say I am now working with a team to develop my skincare brand Raw With Love. Sophia’s approach to building a brand takes you through a journey of self-discovery, ambition, and empowerment. It’s definitely a ride worth taking.”

I’ve Been There
When I was in the early stages of my first business, Nasty Gal, I had no mentors, a few Dummies Guides, and the fractured, endless hole that is Google. Unfortunately, I had to learn through extreme trial and error, but I came out the other side and now have over 15 years of experience building businesses to over $100 million in revenue. With Business Class, I’ll share exactly what you need to know to navigate the murky waters of business ownership and avoid the costly mistakes that I made.
