Threadless - the incredibly successful accidental business

Posted by John on March 30th, 2010

Jeffrey Kalmikoff and Jake Nickell, developed "a fun side-project" into the hugely successful, crowd-sourced t-shirt design website Threadless.

Watch them explain how they did it and what their "Get Shit Done" ethic means - including staying scrappy, being 100% reactive to your community, embracing a DIY approach, learning from failure, and always (always) taking the first step.
