How to start a tech company

Season 2 Episode 8
This all started in a college dorm room, we weren’t looking to get rich, we just wanted to buy a drone. We needed $1000 and we wanted it fast. So we had the idea of printing sweaters for our university residence.

We pooled together $300, bought a Cricut vinyl plotter and got started. We posted ads all over our university’s Facebook groups with designs we had created ourselves. 24h later we had $1000 and sh*t ton of sweaters to print. We pulled our first all nighter (not knowing that it would be the first of many, many, many all nighters) and got the job done.

Word quickly spread throughout campus, with people coming up to us saying “Hey, you’re the sweater guys right? Can you print me some sweaters?“. The name stuck and we officially became The Sweater Guys.

This is our story

This is what entrepreneurship actually looks like, and it's not for everyone. After watching this episode, I realized that really no dream is unachievable, it's just we haven't worked hard enough.

Vloggers, coders, entrepreneurs... you guys are exactly whom I wanna become. If I could get to work for and learn from you guys, I'd be willing to do it for free.

Keep inspiring, the sweater guys. Much love.
