JA StartUP Alumni Spotlight: Catching Up with Guylon Wardlow of Klover Worldwide

As an alumnus of the 2025 JA StartUP cohort, Guylon Wardlow continues to build momentum with his fashion brand, Klover Worldwide, by turning early ideas into a growing, purpose-driven business.

Klover Worldwide is a streetwear brand rooted in the ideas of faith, hope, and luck, inspired by personal growth, resilience, and the courage to take risks even when outcomes are uncertain. Each piece is designed to feel intentional, representing confidence, mindset, and self-belief rather than just fashion. Guylon draws inspiration from everyday life and personal experiences, using clothing to tell stories and connect with others.

Since completing JA StartUP last year, Guylon has continued refining Klover Worldwide, strengthening the brand’s identity, clarifying its message, and expanding its online presence through Kloverclothing.com and social media. What began as a concept during the program has evolved into a more focused and professional operation.

“JA StartUP helped me turn my ideas into something real,” Guylon shared. “It gave me structure, guidance, and confidence to take my brand seriously while understanding what it takes to run a legitimate business.”

The program helped Guylon develop critical skills in planning, audience engagement, and brand communication, which are lessons he continues to apply as his business grows. Understanding his customer and clearly communicating his vision remain central to his strategy.

Reflecting on his experience, Guylon encourages students considering JA StartUP to fully invest in the process. “Stay open-minded, ask questions, accept feedback, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes,” he said. “That’s how growth happens.”

As Klover Worldwide continues to grow, Guylon Wardlow’s journey highlights the lasting impact of JA StartUP by showing how early support, mentorship, and hands-on learning can help young entrepreneurs build something meaningful and sustainable.
