- Plufl is essentially a huge human dog bed. Two college students from Vancouver, Canada, Noah Silverman and Yuki Kinoshita, have designed and created a human dog bed. Their website quotes, “The Plufl is a premium napping bed engineered to provide the optimal napping experience.” Their goal is to reduce stress and anxiety by providing a sense of security and comfort. They campaigned and received $290,000 to begin their company. As of right now, this company is taking off. You can preorder the beds and they cost $399 for one and $699 for two. I remember when I was younger I’d always fall asleep next to the dog in the dog bed and these two college students have taken something a dog uses and have upgraded it to something humans can use. This is neat innovation because they took something that people use all the time and have used the human need for luxury and created something new. Their inspiration was a local dog at a coffee shop. This dog is a great Dane and their owners bought a custom made bed for the dog because it was so huge. After seeing this huge bed they realized they were interested it and maybe humans would want to purchase a dog bed for themselves. As college students, they prioritize naps and thought this would be a great idea. I’ve always loved how cute and comfy dog beds could be and I think it’s a really awesome idea to just make huge person sized one
s. It’s unique that they are in college, but still have created and founded this company. They are actually about to be on Shark Tank, so you’ll have to watch for them! https://www.upworthy.com/brilliant-students-created-giant-dog-beds-for-humans-here-s-what-they-cost

Sean Belnick is an entrepreneurial genius. At just the age of 14 while attending pope high school he created a website that sold office furniture. The name of the company is Bizchair and Sean’s net worth is 42 million. The way that Sean got into this industry of selling products online all started with selling Pokemon cards on eBay. After he got a passion for this he put money into advertising and created the website himself at just 14 years of age. For a kid in high school to create a fully functioning website is truly spectacular. Even though he was young he still possessed so much ambition to sell things that he figured out how his father’s business ran and created a website off of that model. The reason why Sean’s business took off was because of how ahead he was in using the internet. He saw that it would be easier to sell things if they were out there for the whole world to see them.
In 2006 2o-year-old Sean was making 24 million dollars in revenue. Because of Sean’s ambition, he isn’t content with what he has. He wants to expand and expects his sales to be 50-54 million dollars in 2007. Sean was running a million-dollar company while attending college because he believed that he still had more to learn in the business field. He is also a boss of 75 employees at that time all of whom are older than him. Sean stated that he liked being younger than them because the working environment wasn’t as stressful and the employees came to him more often if they have ideas or concerns. Sean’s story really shows how ambition is a key trait to possess when becoming an entrepreneur. Without it, there would be no reason to try and make anything better than it is.
