We've all heard about business empires that started in a garage - and Wash Bloc is no different. 

Wash Bloc is an all-natural, environmentally-friendly personal care line for travelers that's been a wild success since George Brown launched it a few months ago. 

As a travel lover, George was frustrated when he couldn't find quality products that were natural and sustainable. 

Once he took Foundr's Start and Scale course, George knew he had to launch his own line.
