The Perfect Storm of Problems

NVRS* started as a passion project by two design school dropouts. Their first drop—50 hand-sewn hoodies—sold out in 3 minutes. By month two, Chinese factories were pumping out counterfeits faster than they could sew originals.

They needed more than a lawyer. They needed a strategic partner who understood both street culture and boardroom politics.

The Three-Phase Transformation

01

Protect

Filed trademarks in 15 jurisdictions within 72 hours. Deployed AI-powered monitoring to identify and eliminate counterfeits. Created unforgeable authentication system using blockchain.

02

Scale

Structured manufacturing agreements that protected designs while enabling 100x production increase. Negotiated celebrity partnerships that paid in equity, preserving cash for growth.

03

Exit

Orchestrated bidding war between three luxury conglomerates. Structured deal to maximize value while ensuring founders retained creative control and significant upside.

"We went from selling hoodies out of my mom's garage to sitting across from the CEO of a luxury conglomerate. Adelman Matz didn't just protect our brand—they built our empire."
