How One GSU Student Turned Their Childhood Comforts Into a Profitable Business

A Student Story:
Alicia Blount has been an entrepreneur since childhood. She started by selling potato chips in class, then upgraded to bleaching old jeans for friends before founding Yellow Blanket. By upcycling used clothes and textiles, Blount is supporting her mission to reduce waste in landfills.
 Blount has now taken her business to the next level, having graduated college and secured a spot in an accelerator program. She credits her success to finding mentors and partners who helped her refine her ideas and create her vision. With a team of designers and sales professionals behind her, Blount is ready to take Yellow Blanket to the next level and make it the go-to destination for sustainable clothing and textiles.

In April, Blount was selected to join the third cohort of the prestigious Main Street Entrepreneurs Seed Fund(MSESF), part of Georgia State’s effort to create an inclusive ecosystem to nurture entrepreneurs and innovators. MSESF is a six-month program created to support underrepresented students, recent alumni, and Georgia State community entrepreneurs with seed funding and mentorship to start and grow new ventures.
 It can be difficult to turn our dreams into reality, but it’s not impossible!!!
