ABOUT US/

Melody Biringer knows retail. A skilled entrepreneur, Melody started her career at age 18 by masterfully marketing her family’s berries into more than 50 gourmet food products. Her work made Biringer Farm a household name, and prompted Melody to open a retail shop in Seattle’s Pike Street Market that she owned for 15 years.

Melody dreams big and she knows that you do too. Today she makes it her mission to help aspiring business owners realize their dreams. Melody brought the nationally renowned Ladies Who Launch to three cites, and is a leader of the group’s popular incubator sessions that promote entrepreneurship as a lifestyle. Melody is also the founder Startup Junkie, an entrepreneurial education and services company providing women with the tools and know-how needed to help their businesses soar.

As the author and publisher of the popular CRAVE guidebooks, Melody has built strong relationships with retailers throughout the Northwest. She knows who’s-who and what’s-what in the industry. Melody believes in passionately supporting locally owned businesses and knows that those independent retailers add depth and character to our communities.
