寢室發家之6大熱門公司

Solé自行車公司

Solé Bicycles

創立時間：2009年

創始人：杰克?邁德維爾和喬納森?施里夫特曼

就讀學校：南加州大學

????對于南加州大學（University of Southern California）這樣大的學校，自行車無疑是校園通勤最便捷的交通工具。但是自行車不光只是交通工具，更是個性的體現。

????2009年，同在兄弟會的杰克?邁德維爾和喬納森?施里夫特曼開始在寢室出售色彩各異的固定齒輪自行車，每臺310美元。第一批200輛自行車很快售罄，公司從此步入發展的快車道。Solés公司目前的盈利全部用于發展公司業務。

????邁德維爾和施里夫特曼正在和投資者接觸，商討將業務拓展至西海岸以外的區域。他們預計公司在下一個自然年的營收將達到100萬美元。

Started: 2009

Founders: Jake Medwell and Jonathan Shriftman

School: University of Southern California

????At a big school like USC, biking around campus is the easiest way to get around. But a bicycle isn't just a conveyance -- it's also a personal statement.

????In 2009, fraternity brothers Jake Medwell and Jonathan Shriftman gained a strong following with their new and colorful fixed gear bikes sold from their house at a fixed price of $310 apiece. The first 200 quickly sold out, and the company has taken off from there. All of Solés' profit goes right back into the business.

????Medwell and Shriftman are in the process of meeting with investors so they can expand beyond the West Coast. They expect to generate over $1 million in revenue in the next calendar year.
