Marcel Benson, founder of The Benson Watch Company and an alum of Workshop At Macy’s, expands his brand.
Nationwide — The Benson Watch Company has announced its first public raise of $1,070,000 on Republic’s private investment platform, which allows community investors to get involved at the ground level. Just a few short years ago, founder and CEO Marcel Benson was sitting in a consulting job that he did not love; he was beginning to lose sight of his purpose in life. He thought that he had done things right by going to school and landing a good job. However, as he grew in his career he was not fulfilled at all. He decided one day to abruptly leave his job and pursue his passion full time.
