When Dana Chole, BS ’11, DPT ’14, and her partners at Switched Adapted Toys had taken their small startup as far as they could, the team of two physical therapists and an entrepreneur knew it was time to grow and establish themselves as a nonprofit — but they didn’t have the resources to make that happen on their own. They had already invested everything they had into their online business, which offers tutorials on how to adapt toys for children with disabilities.
The demand for their services was clear, and they were determined to meet it.
A quick Google search led to an unexpected but ideal resource: the Entrepreneurship Legal Clinic at the University of Missouri School of Law. Here, law students, under the supervision of an experienced licensed attorney, provide legal assistance and support to entrepreneurs and small business owners across Missouri — and, most importantly to Chole and her partners, the services are free of charge.
