Amanda Lacy, a mother of three with over 15 years of experience in product development, recognized the need for a play structure that would simplify parents' lives while addressing the issue of waste in the outdoor play category. Over the course of 18 months, and with the help of SCORE, Bijou Build transformed from a concept on paper to a tangible product that is now enriching the lives of families. The success of Bijou Build is an inspiring example of SCORE’s mission to foster vibrant small business communities through mentoring and education.
