About Us

“While growing up we always dreamt of being our bosses. Nobody around
us owned a business or even finished college. We dreamt of rising above our situation and
showing those around us that there are more ways to become successful.”

Stack N Starve is an increasingly popular clothing brand run by two headstrong young men. 20-year-olds Marcel & Marvyon, coming from Portsmouth and Norfolk, Virginia — are the originators of this motivational business, STACK N STARVE LLC!

They express that their first few steps towards success started with a jump into dropshipping. Dropshipping is a process in which it becomes a hassle-free experience for individuals to push products out to clientele. They can simply create their design and advertise it to customers online. The dropshipping company handles everything from the orders, printing the product, and shipping it out to customers for a small percentage of the earnings.

They began with the platform Printful, in which they didn’t have to invest anything initially. While it was decent to start out with, they soon realized that this method was not going to be very efficient to grow locally.

Local growth and exposure for clothing lines are often best encouraged by in-person sales and street promotion. This is exactly what became the key to success for the two ambitious entrepreneurs.

Officially launching August 31st, 2020 — Stack N Starve enlightens people to stay motivated, encourages them to invest, pay themselves, and most importantly; stack and save their funds!

Marcel and Marvyon express that the phrase “stack and starve” came from them working alongside each other at Arby’s with the intent to save their money. When Marcel came up with the idea of a clothing brand, he says it was “only right to bring Marvyon on as his partner.” With prior experience as a brand ambassador and designer for Habits 365, he noticed that the brand was beginning to grow in different states as a result of him being involved with them. This inspired him to consider starting his own business.                                                                                          Company Owner, Marvyon, wearing company merchandise

Since then, the two say having each other in the leader position has been an advantage!

“It’s an advantage having each other in the leader position because it’s an extra set of eyes, an extra opinion, an extra route when it comes to different situations .

We mostly have fun brainstorming together & when it’s time to make a decision we’re both good at Eliminating options, therefore having both of us in charge is a plus. We’re all around team players so the strengths come naturally — anything I can do with ease, he can learn with no problem vise versa. 

I couldn’t name a weakness because that’s something that stays with you forever and we’re evolving young men steadily progressing so anything that’s difficult can be mastered. “

As this brand continues to grow and evolve, we encourage you all to keep up with them through social media and buying their merch! Below are the links to stay involved beyond this article.
