ABOUT USA STRONG

Krissy Mashinsky launched NYC STRONG in Spring 2020 to help small businesses and New York’s economy survive the pandemic. The idea struck a nerve and I was soon hearing from women all over the country who wanted to build local versions of our burgeoning New York community. In Fall 2020, I launched usastrong.IO as an umbrella brand and technology platform designed to support grassroots state, ecommerce marketplaces, selling a wide range of USA-made products. The company introduced STRONG Blockchain™ to help manufacturers verify that their products are made in America.
