What It Takes to Build a Standout Consumer Brand with Ariana Ferwerda of Halfdays
Tuesday, December 9, 2025, 1:30 PM EST
What does it really take to build a breakout consumer brand in a crowded category, and do it with intention, community, and high repeat purchase rates? For Ariana Ferwerda, co-founder and CEO of Halfdays, it started with spotting a gap no one else saw. As a lifelong outdoor enthusiast who moved to Colorado only to find women’s technical gear uninspired, unstylish, and lacking performance, Ariana used her background in retail consulting and analytics to build what the industry was missing: performance fashion designed by women, for women, to own the mountain.

If you’re juggling inconsistent income, self-funding your business, debating when to bring on your next hire, or wondering how your personal finances connect to your company’s future, this conversation is for you.
