While researching young entrepreneurs, I came across Jessica Atkins and her business Stylebook. Stylebook is an application that helps users manage their wardrobe. Atkins states that this business started as a hobby. Once Apple opened the App Store to individual developers, Atkins and her the boyfriend, now husband decided to create the app, not expecting it to turn into the business it is today. Atkins states that ” if you want to start you own technology business, you don’t have to take the traditional startup route.” This point from Atkins is encouraging to hear as an entrepreneurship student.

This is awesome to see someone go the non traditional route and find success. I like that we can see the elements of someone finding something they’re passionate about and turning it into something much bigger. Atkins seems to be a big advocate for being innovative and creative, which is a big part of being an entrepreneur. Thank you for sharing!
Great job! There is definitely a market for this idea and I’m sure Jessica experienced a problem related to this herself. Also apps are a great way to start a business although Im sure it was difficult when the appstore had just come out. I definitely will be doing more research on this because it is interesting.
This idea is very interesting and would be useful to me. I would love to look into the app more and see just how to works. I love seeing businesses that evolve in untraditional ways, as it gives yet another example as to how anybody can be a successful entrepreneur.
I could always use help with my outfits! I would highly enjoy an application like this and I believe most people could! I like how she was fearless in her decision to take the next step in the business as most people would probably hesitate and she showed a fearless nature and it has resulted in great success. Very intriguing and also yes something I would invest upon.
