Healy said he was excited by the story and the product behind Snaps Clothing Co. and saw the potential for Snaps Clothing to be the No. 1 emerging clothing brand, for both men and women.
Since its debut in the 1950s, the pearl snap shirt has been a staple of the western wardrobe for its comfort, durability, and convenience. Healy’s partnership aims to help the brand navigate the industry, align with experienced partners, and create tremendous awareness through social influence, Morrison Seger said.
VC ‘secret weapon’
Healy has more than 20 years of investing experience.
Earlier this year, we told you how Healey went full-bore in September by founding Morrison Seger Venture Capital Partners. With close to $30 million raised since its launch, the”MoSe” fund has focused on Tiff’s Treats, Siempre Tequila, laundry and dryer fragrance startup Laundry Sauce, and Catch’N Ice Cream.
As a founder of multiple companies, ranging from the real estate to the memorabilia space, Healy said he considers his secret weapon to be his eye for talent.
