TEAM

Allison Schickel

Allison Schickel • Founder and CEO

Allison is a wife, mother of three, CEO, mentor, and speaker. Allison was inspired to create the original "Brobe" – a patented bra and robe combination for women undergoing breast surgeries – when a friend diagnosed with breast cancer described the pain, discomfort, and difficulty of healing while managing pain, swelling, and post-op drains for weeks. Realizing the lack of functional and feminine products available for women, she created something that gave women dignity and beauty during (what most would say is) the most challenging time of their life. Brobe has become the leader in adaptive clothing by expanding beyond the breast cancer market to offer a range of products globally for cosmetic surgeries, open heart, organ transplants, and pediatric surgery recovery. Allison has won numerous awards, including ABJ’S Profiles in Power, Dallas Market Center’s Next Big Thing, and Women’s Chamber Rising Star, and was honored as one of ten businesswomen selected for the 2017 Tory Burch Fellows program. She’s an honorary graduate from the School of Hard Knocks and has mentored students at McCombs School of Business, UT’s School of Communications, and St Edwards University Entrepreneurship program.

the pitch

At Brobe, we create functional, high quality, and fashionable adaptive clothing to assist men, women, and children, recovering from major surgeries with comfort and dignity. Our products solve a wide variety of post-operative issues such as maintaining surgical drains, holding ice packs, and making showering independently, possible. 


Brobe has 11 years of B2C experience, 7 patents, $2.7 million in sales, over 50,000 happy customers, and numerous social impact awards. Now, we are expanding our reach significantly into B2B business.









Overview


The Go-To Apparel For Surgery Recovery


In 2011, Allison Schickel was on a girls' trip, laughing with her friends about the Bra+Robe combo she had sewn together to make getting ready for work easier. They jokingly, but aptly, named it "The Brobe." The following year, Allison's friend, Wendy, was diagnosed with Stage III Breast Cancer, and the Brobe took on a whole new purpose.  After hearing about Wendy’s dehumanizing experience – managing incredible physical and emotional pain from loss of her breasts, juggling post-surgical drains as she struggled to complete basic tasks like taking a shower, and covering up her post-surgical body with the poor quality "gown" the hospital had given her – Allison decided to take the Brobe to the next level.




The Problem & Our solution


Ditch the Tape and Safety Pins For Something BETTER!

Imagine you just left the hospital after major surgery. You are in pain, you have limited mobility, and you have as many as nine drain tubes funneling the fluid from your surgical wounds into receptacles tied to your limbs, which require emptying, and care, every few hours. How would you walk around? Take a shower? Sleep? It’s a harrowing experience, especially for Brobe’s original customers: women undergoing the fight of their lives against breast cancer. 




Brobe International, Inc. is named after the product that started it all: The Brobe, a "bra" and "robe" combination, replete with pockets for ice packs, prosthetics, drains, and more. Designed for women recovering from breast surgery, but applicable and used for a broad spectrum of surgeries, the Brobe is easy to put on by yourself, fully supports swollen breasts, and discreetly carries all your post-surgical drains, ice, and heat packs, and personal items, so you can focus on healing instead of constantly removing and then re-taping drains to your body, and dreading the next time you need to move, or your next bathroom break. 




Our Surgery Recovery Robe comes with 4-6 drain pockets lined on the inside of the robe. The Post-Surgical Bra is wire-free, including an extra-wide band for support, has pockets inside the bra to hold ice packs, heat packs, or prosthetic breasts, and fastens in the front with velcro and snaps. 


The 3-in-1 Belly Binder is a compression garment often used to protect the abdominal area after surgery. It helps brace and support the midsection, helps to reduce fluid buildup very common after surgery, and provides much-needed abdominal support. The Belly Binder is three separate pieces, allowing compression for the upper, middle, and lower torso. It is breathable, comfortable, and also provides lumbar support.



Brobe began with breast cancer but has expanded to help people recovering from other major surgeries. Open Heart and Organ Transplant Surgery, Mommy Makeovers, Tummy Tucks, Vasectomies, Testicular Cancer procedures, plus many more, are targeted benefactors from products in the Brobe line.


Doctor and Medical Endorsements

Brobe products are endorsed by Surgeons, Medical Professionals, Medical Center Providers, etc.

National News Exposure

We also have a special solution for pediatrics: The Elliott Superhero Robe, inspired by stories of parents going through impossibly hard times with their young children. The Elliot Superhero Robe empowers parents to help their children feel like the Superheroes they really are and has been featured on CBS Nightly News:



Children Deserve to Have Fun During Their Recovery

The Elliot Superhero Robe was designed for children battling cancer, chronic illnesses, or recovering from surgery. Just like our recovery robes for adults, these amazing robes have pockets to hold JP Drains, monitors, cords, or other medical equipment. The Superhero Robe comes with snaps along the sleeve from the wrist to the collarbone to accommodate IVs, blood pressure cuffs, and easy access to ports. 



The Superhero Robe comes with the following:


  • (1) Anti-Microbial super soft and durable Blue Robe
  • (4) Interchangeable interior pockets
  • (2) Superhero Capes in star fabric and "Super Power" word fabric
  • (2) Hats in the same fabric as the capes
  • (1) Blue Superhero mask in the same fabric as the robe and hats



The Superhero Robe is available and vital for kids with dangerous illnesses, allowing them to look and feel like superheroes while staying strong and healing.



the market & Our Traction


Brobe Fills an Enormous Gap in the Growing Adaptive Clothing Market


The adaptive clothing market, which is clothing designed for the disabled, the elderly, and post-surgical, was valued at $278.9 Billion in 2021 and is predicted to reach over $409 Billion by 2027 (Source). Meanwhile, demand for surgery is on the rise, with 40-50 million major surgeries each year in the U.S. alone (Source). Several brands specialize in adaptive clothing, but there's an empty space in post-surgical garments. Brobe is here to fill that gap. 


Brobe sells internationally online, as well as in various plastic surgery centers, lingerie boutiques, and hospital systems, as well as through our ever-expanding B2B marketplace. Moreover, Brobe has proven to be pandemic-proof, as we increased our sales by 10% EBITDA over 2019, with a demand that continues to grow by the day.




According to our research, nothing like Brobe existed before we came along, despite its authenticity and simplicity. Brobe aims to focus on the wellness and mental well-being of patients, rather than illness or surgery of any kind. By focusing on high-quality, comfortable fabrics that won’t shrink, fade, and have been designed to meet all the right needs for recovery, we believe Brobe is providing exactly what patients need on their path to recovery. 


Brobe has helped over 50,000 women battling breast cancer. In 2022, Brobe expanded to ALL major surgeries, and today, 30% of Brobe’s revenue is from non-breast cancer-related purchases. Over the years, Brobe and Allison Schickel, our founder and CEO, have won numerous awards for social impact and product design. Take a look at our achievements so far:

Happy Holidays and Exciting Updates from Brobe!

Happy Holidays! As we approach the end of another year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported Brobe, not just in 2024 but for nearly 13 incredible years. Starting a business from scratch has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding journeys of my life, and your continued support has been instrumental in our success.

This year, like every year, brought its share of ups and downs, but Brobe remains resilient and strong. Over the years, we’ve learned the importance of adapting and evolving, and 2024 was no exception. We made the decision to discontinue our post-surgical bra once current inventory sells out. With an increasingly competitive market, our focus is shifting to post-op products that address less saturated needs.

In light of upcoming tariffs that could raise costs by 60%, we’ve also taken proactive steps to secure samples and explore partnerships with factories in the U.S., Mexico, and India. This will allow us to maintain quality while managing costs effectively.

On a brighter note, 2024 saw exciting growth. We added more B2B accounts and are eagerly awaiting a significant order from a hospital in Ohio, which plans to use Brobes as an alternative to traditional hospital gowns. Our hope is that this sparks a trend among other large hospitals, offering patients a more functional and comfortable healing experience.

Additionally, the annual Breast Virginia Foundation fundraiser, spearheaded by our incredible friend and customer Jodi Estep, was a tremendous success. Through her efforts, hundreds of women in her community battling breast cancer have received Brobe products to support their recovery. We are so proud to partner with Jodi and her foundation to make a meaningful impact.

As we celebrate this holiday season, I want to thank you all for being part of our journey. Your love and support inspire us to keep going, and we’re excited for what’s to come in 2025.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a New Year filled with joy and good health!

Warm regards, Allison Schickel,Founder, Brobe

13 Days Left! Why Investing in Brobe is Worth It!

Hello. As a potential investor, are you looking for an innovative investment opportunity in the healthcare and fashion industry? Look no further than Brobe - a leading brand in post-surgical adaptive clothing.

Investing in Brobe's post-surgical adaptive clothing, can greatly benefit individuals recovering from surgeries. One compelling reason to invest in post-surgical adaptive clothing is the comfort and convenience it provides during the recovery process. Post-surgical procedures can leave individuals feeling sore, sensitive, or restricted in their movements, making it challenging to find suitable clothing that is comfortable and easy to wear. The Brobe products are specifically designed to cater to the unique needs of individuals recovering from surgery, featuring soft and breathable fabrics, adjustable closures, and strategically placed pockets for carrying drains or other medical supplies. This helps to alleviate discomfort, reduce irritation to surgical sites, and simplify the process of getting dressed during a time when individuals may be experiencing pain or limited mobility.

 Investing in Brobe is about making a positive social impact. By supporting Brobe, you'll be contributing to improved post-surgical recovery experiences for patients, enhancing their comfort and quality of life during a crucial period. 

Thank you for considering Brobe as a potential investment opportunity.

Sincerely,

Allison Schickel and the Brobe team

So, how will you build a pull from practitioners? The doctor, or the pre-op appointment people, need to have knowledge of these solutions, not necessarily to sell, but to inform patients before the surgery. A simple, "Oh by the way, you'll have drains and tubes, but there's this Brobe thing that will make your recovery easier....." could build demand. Better yet, this is what post-op provides, for a fee -- of course.

I do see the need for such a novel idea, after seeing what loved ones face with current opinions. So thank you for that. My question is, while you mention it's for men, women & children, going to your website you get impression it's only female based clothing and nothing for men. Which meant I couldn't order a gift for a friend of mine who just had heart surgery! Why the disconnect between what you mention in StartEngine offering vs what you actually offer?

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

StartEngine makes it easy to invest using your retirement funds. You can open a self-directed IRA account through Equity Trust, a trusted provider fully integrated with our platform. This integration allows for a fast, secure, and seamless investing experience, and includes a special offer on annual feesexclusively for StartEngine investors.

Already have a self-directed IRA with another provider? You can still invest on StartEngine, but please note that the process will be manual and may take longer to complete.

To get started, simply visit our IRA page for more information and step-by-step instructions.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.

Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.
