Meet the Founders
The team behind UGC University — built by entrepreneurs who've scaled brands to billions.
Hudson Leogrande
Founder & CEO
Hudson built COMFRT from $0 to over $1 billion in revenue in just 3 years — bootstrapped, no investors, no outside capital. Along the way, he trained over 100,000 content creators and built the largest creator-driven apparel brand in America. His system of finding, training, and scaling micro-creators became the blueprint that powers UGC University. Before COMFRT, Hudson founded Purely White Deluxe, the #1 oral care brand on TikTok Shop. He started with $1,000 in his mom's basement and hasn't stopped building since.
Jeremy Thurswell
Co-Founder
Jeremy is the Co-Founder and COO of Kitsch — one of the largest self-funded, woman-owned beauty brands in the United States. He helped build Kitsch from handmade hair ties into a global beauty powerhouse sold in major retailers worldwide. Jeremy brings years of experience scaling bootstrapped brands, managing operations at scale, and building creator-driven growth engines. At UGC University, he's focused on giving creators the same playbook that turned Kitsch into a household name.
Our Mission
We built UGC University because we believe everyone deserves the chance to build a career doing what they love — creating content. No degree required. No gatekeepers. Just real skills, real feedback, and a real path to earning.
