A few months prior to the iPad 2 coming out in stores, Garrett Gee, a university student, was inspired to find an easier QR code software and apps specifically for the iPad 2. Through his mission he ended up developing one of his own called Scan. He was so dedicated and invested in this product that he had spent two sleepless nights with an iOS developer to then finally accomplish his goal. Garrett was able to make the Top Ten listing for apps specific to the devise and ended up recruiting two fellow classmates to then launch the scan on February 2011.

Later on the team earned 10 million downloads and got paid from venture capitalists with a whopping $1.5 million dollars all with in the first year. By October 2011 Scan was downloaded by 21 million people. Garrett and his team are not stopping here, they have big plans to develop a monetization plan for Scan.
