VBE Spotlight on: Reign
Reign
Reign was founded by Demond Crump in 2019.
Reign was born in 2019 after Demond and his team saw a need for women and young girls to be comfortable and dry during their monthly cycles. Reign prides theirselves in being an organization that selects the top 100 CEOs in Georgia and surrounding regions. They are on a mission to become a $1 billion per year company. This will be accomplished by having 3 million customers purchasing from Reign monthly. Recently, Reign has implemented an initiative with the local high schools where they are going to be bringing students in to learn about entrepreneurship and have a chance to meet other successful entrepreneurs to inspire their futures.
