Threadless - Custom T-Shirt Designs Done Right
April 16, 2008
For those of you who have never heard of Threadless - let us introduce you to one of the more creative, revolutionizing, and simply genius ideas the Internet has afforded us. The business model is simple and the execution is near flawless.
- Create a website that allows users to submit custom t-shirt designs.
- Allow the community to choose which designs they feel would make the best t-shirts.
- The top designs go into production and are sold on the site.
- The designers get a cut of the t-shirt sales (up to $12,500).
- Rinse and repeat.
The community skinnyCorp has created around Threadless has grown into a collection of designers and avid t-shirt wearers that exceeds hundreds of thousands.
Below is a video of the founders. As young entrepreneurs ourselves we thought it was interesting and have nothing but respect for the guys.
