PROFILE

Today, we sit down with Katherine Homuth, the visionary behind SRTX, creators of the revolutionary Sheertex tights.

Katherine opens up about her journey and offers invaluable insights for today’s founders—especially those striving to innovate in a world increasingly focused on sustainability.

From building products that stand the test of time to creating real value for customers, her wisdom is a must-hear for anyone looking to make a lasting impact.

What was the inspiration?

It was about solving a problem.

Why do we live in a world with self-driving cars and space travel, but something as simple as a pair of tights rips in a single wear?

From there, rapid prototyping overseas, and then vertical integration through the setup of our own Canadian factory.

When did you know you wanted to be a Founder?

I have wanted to be an entrepreneur since high school. I admired entrepreneurs. I admired entrepreneurship as a way of bringing new ideas to life. I wanted to be part of that world and I was willing to put in the time to figure out how.

What is something really important you have learned on your journey?

It’s a very very long road. Staying motivated and continuing to push the rock up hill for a very long time is hard. Overcoming this is a constant mental battle.

There is so much opportunity to innovate, its actually staying focused and getting one thing sustainable that is hard.

Best piece of advice for Founders?

Move fast. Like really fast.
