While volunteering for the homeless in Austin, Texas, Tim Scott and his wife Agata had an epiphany. “We had seen a problem and decided to do something about it,” he says.
That realization led to the founding of Mitscoots Outfitters in 2012. The clothing and accessories company’s mission is to outfit and employ individuals transitioning out of homelessness. Tim invited the What’s in Store crew to the Mitscoots Outfitters warehouse where he explained how using Mailchimp’s predicted demographics has helped them sell merch and get the message out.
