Steven Kuhl was a college student when himself and a fellow classmate started a company called Burrow. Burrow is a company that makes couches, but what is so special about these couches is the fact that they are bought online and shipped to you in a small box. Steven started this company because the reason couches cost so much money is the shipping cost, due to the odd shapes and the fact that it is difficult to move. By purchasing a couch from Burrow you save on the shipping costs. Burrow coaches are very high quality and also made in America, but because of the shipping savings the couches still cost less than there counterparts. What truly makes the idea behind burrow great is that it is a direct to consumer business which means there is no middle man which also lowers the cost of each couch and the fact that it is fast you can order the couch online and have it in less than a week. Steven saw a problem within a major industry that he had an answer to. Steven’s story has taught me that you can’t always plan what problem you are going to solve, but when you see the problem that you have you an answer to that you should jump on it because it might turn out to very lucrative business for you. Steven is driven by the fact that he likes solving problems. I think steven is a true entrepreneur in every sense of the word.
I think this is so interesting. I never knew this was even possible to do. Definitely something that will be very popular, especially for college students wanting to bring a couch, but pack efficiently.
