What began as a personal endeavor after her 2018 accident-altering clothes on a humble sewing machine to ensure a more comfortable fit for her prosthetic leg and those of her amputee friends evolved into the company we now know as No Limbits.

That dream, which at the time seemed so far-fetched to achieve, inched along from humble beginnings to a Kickstarter campaign needed to fund the production run of adaptive pants. "Our appearance on Shark Tank enabled us to secure deals with renowned investors like Mark Cuban, lending credibility and opening doors to new opportunities." Meet Erica Cole, founder and CEO of adaptive clothing company, No Limbits.
