QMCV started the streetwear brand Run263 in 2012, in the midst of the ZImbabwe Hip Hop rise. Their t-shirts could be seen on the largest stages, in the press, and on most urban music videos of the time.
Panashe and Archie talk about how it really was to start a business then and how it has been going for the past 8 years. An open discussion around the learnings that come with the streetwear market, recovering the brand after Panashe lost his business partner, friend, Michael.
The importance of family support for creative entrepreneurship is also on the table; how having other business activities enabled the continuous bootstrapping of Run 263 and Panashe tells us the risks he wishes he had taken with the brand.
An overall insightful conversation with lots to learn. Follow Panashe: @Im_so_arcane (Twitter and Instagram), Panashe Madziva (Facebook). Follow QMCV apparel to keep up with the growth of the brand on qmcv_apparel (Instagram).
Super grateful to Panashe for taking the time out to have this conversation with me. I will continue to provide Zimbabwean startup stories and conversations around unique African and global niches with weekly podcasts.
