Help launch Jacksonville's next great vintage destination.
Enricka "Rik" James is opening Six in the City Vintage. The Launch 180 community is investing in her runway. Be part of why she makes it.
This isn't charity. It's community investment.
Enricka "Rik" James has spent years investing in Jacksonville. Building the Duval Ball, Duval Wears Prada, and a community of fashion lovers who show up for each other. Now she is building her own retail space: Six in the City Vintage, a curated vintage and consignment shop ready to open its doors.
Every time a Jacksonville small business closes, the city loses something it can't get back. Launch Jax exists so more of them never have to. The Launch 180 program gives one Jacksonville entrepreneur 180 days of full runway before opening day. Rent reserves, professional services, and the resources to open with stability instead of scrambling.
Your contribution is not a donation in the charity sense. It is a vote of confidence in a founder who has already proven what she can build, and an investment in a city that gets stronger every time one of its small businesses opens stable, instead of scrambling.
