Authentic Connection
You love us, and we love you.
That’s how this works.

The dream doesn’t need to be 100% clear, but it does need to make us all jump out of bed every morning.
Passion
If it’s real, we’ll feel it. If it’s true, we’ll do it.
Purpose
We are the sum of our choices, actions, experiences. They should add up to something good great.
Grit
Blood, sweat, tears. REPEAT. If you can lay it all on the table a hundred times over and still remain standing, it’s a good sign.

Bootstrapped Founder
Monina Verano
Return to From the Heart“I’ve seen too many talented Creators end their entrepreneurial journey early because they weren’t lucky enough to have the right resources at the right time. They didn’t have a sounding board, partner, or mentor to combine left brain with right brain thinking.”
As an Indie Creative turned Creative Entrepreneur, my passion lies in unlocking ideas, connecting dots, creating present and future frameworks for success, and building teams that are genuinely happy with the day to day and taken care of from year to year. My mission with SLAQR Society is to offer Founders sustainable paths to executing big dreams, while providing opportunities to develop a balanced mindset of ambitiousness and well-being.
I believe our magic lies in meticulous curation and the unique cultivation of points of view. I value the long game, thoughtful execution, raw talent, hidden gems, working incredibly smart, and having fun along the way. I invest in every Creator in Society. Call me with what keeps you up at night, because chances are I’ve been there and if I can’t solve your issue, I will find someone who can.

NOTO Botanics
NOTO Botanics is a natural, multi-use beauty and wellness company focusing on minimalist, high performing, and organic essentials. Founder, Gloria Noto, understands the beauty industry well due to her extensive and intimate experience as a makeup artist in fashion and entertainment. Seeing all too clearly how the majority of products are cocktails of chemicals, pollutants and fillers, Gloria sought out to create a solution by developing products that reflected the changes she wanted to see. This change is not only in ingredients, it is also in the visual identity of what wellness and inclusivity look like in the beauty and wellness space.
