Jamie Montz

Jamie Montz is founder + creator of The Original Stretchlace, elastic shoelaces that turn every shoe into a slip-on. What started as a curious side hustle grew into a full-fledged business. She ventured on her own in July of 2019, and by 2020 Shark Tank came calling. Before creating The Original Stretchlace Montz worked for several start ups and Fortune 500 companies during the dot-com boom of the early 2000's. She was one of the first third-party sellers on Amazon. She successfully sold that company and returned to the corporate world to develop and launch innovative products in the frozen foods and apparel categories. Years later, inspiration struck, and she knew she was ready to put her entrepreneurial spirit to use again, and founded her second company, The Original Stretchlace.
