GLORY GROVE ORGANICS
Glory Grove Organics is a leader strong in environmental and sustainable stewardship supporting healthy living and wellness. Business owner, Linda Allivato, believes in celebrating nature’s brilliance, and aims to grow her company by offering consumers eco-conscious products that revolutionize their daily routines with organic and biodegradable goodness.
THE CHALLENGES
Linda Allivato came to Silicon Valley SBDC after she had been working on a consumer retail product idea for a year, where she had attempted to complete the final design stage of a component for her prototype. She was looking for advice on finding a way to complete her prototype design so she can test her product in the real world, and work on branding, marketing, packaging, and sales strategies to support her Beta launch.
THE RESULTS
With the help of the SBDC, Linda has started her business, devoting full time to product development and securing prototype testing for social proof. She has invested over $40K of her own money in a provisional patent and product development, and has fundraised over $3.2K through selling complementary products.

Her insight has helped me avoid costly mistakes, connect with the right partners, and confidently navigate each stage of bringing my product to market.”
