Whew! Can we just take a breather and appreciate how these cool kids have rewritten the graduate handbook? No 9-to-5 cubicle life for them; they’ve jumped right into the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. Meet the fresh-faced trio behind Stick-On – a print-on-demand company they bootstrapped right out after university. I mean, who can resist creating jobs while the rest are busy looking for one? Go get ’em, boys!
They’re the driven kind, you know? Two of them come from business families (so yeah, discount on entrepreneurship genes, aye?), and the third one’s from a lineage of artists. They enjoy injecting their jazz into chaotic situations, and well, isn’t that what every successful venture capitalist dream of? Hats off to these kiddos, making the hustle look Instagram-worthy.
One of them tugged at my heartstrings, confessing about his harsh financial realities at the age of 18. Remember when the only struggle at 18 was updating your MySpace profile song? Yeah, that’s a reality check! But hey, that’s how diamonds are made under pressure, right?
Now, drum roll, please! The star of the Stick-On squad, the glue that holds them together in tough times… Kiyo! No, Kiyo isn’t their CFO or VP Marketing – Kiyo is their fur-ball of cuteness, their adorable kitten. Seriously, can we make Kiyo the unofficial mascot or something? Just can’t get enough of that fuzzball cutie!
Our dynamic trio, with a cat in tow, are now shark hunting (Not literally, PETA!). They’re on the lookout for mentors to give their big dreams an even bigger push. They’re keen on learning directly from these sharks who have swum through torrential entrepreneurial seas. Can’t wait to see how they fare and fingers crossed we get to see Kiyo pitching – as a bonus! ‘Unlikely,’ you think? Well, watch the space!
