Threadless
Started with just $1,000 by Jake Nickell and Jacob DeHart in 2000, the online t-shirt company known as Threadless has become an overnight phenomenon with a devoted community that allows members to submit creative t-shirt designs that are voted on with cash prizes for winning designs. In recent years, the company has added wall graphics, artist prints and kids apparel, and expanded to its first retail store.
