The
Aviator Incubator
Launch Your Brand from the Ground Up.
Sky’s the Limit.
Only a few designers/founders will be selected.
The Aviator Incubator is not an online course or a classroom. It’s an exclusive 3-month in-person mentorship program inside the Aviator creative studio in Los Angeles. This is where a handful of driven founders and designers will work side-by-side with industry experts to launch brands built for real growth.
If You’re Accepted
You’ll join a small, highly selective cohort personally chosen and interviewed by Colby Kane (Founder of Aviator, a multi-million-dollar DTC brand) and Christian Suh (Founder of Denim Campus, one of the most respected denim authorities in LA).
Each candidate receives a dedicated workstation and access to the same tools, systems, and processes used to build successful apparel brands from the ground up. This is a very limited opportunity to learn directly from two of LA’s most experienced builders, and to accelerate your own brand’s journey from idea to reality.
Program Details
Commitment: 3 Months (Full-time focus) with an option to extend.
Investment: $2,000 per month. This is an investment in yourself and your brand.
Location: Aviator HQ – Downtown Los Angeles, in the heart of the fashion district.
Enrollment: Extremely limited — only a few spots open per session.
What You’ll Get
-
A dedicated workspace inside Aviator HQ
-
Weekly 1-on-1 mentorship and coaching
-
Professional tools and resources for design, production, and branding.
-
Access to Aviator’s trusted network of suppliers, factories, and creatives

What You’ll Learn
A complete blueprint for launching and scaling a fashion or denim brand:
-
Brand Identity & Mission: Craft your story and define your audience.
-

This Isn’t for Everyone
We’re looking for founders who are all in — creative thinkers who are serious about launching their brand and ready to commit. If you’re selected, you’ll join a small community of builders who share one goal: to create something lasting, profitable, and truly original.
