Damn you've done and tried a lot of stuff!
What I've learned from that resume is that you can fail 100 times, but all you need to be "set" is one ZipX that gives you the cash freedom to chase other dreams.
- MauranKilom 4y agoThat item being several orders of magnitude above all the others is an interesting context, for sure. Regarding the "being set", it would be helpful to have a date on that item in particular. The Forbes "30 under 30" is from 2021, but I haven't been able to trace the age of the company on first try...
- jimhi 4y agoI co-founded Trusu in 2018. We were acquired in 2020 and that revenue came within the first year of that. I ended up providing over 100 million Facemasks around the world and South East Asia. Technically my company was 1 full time person and 1 full time contractor at the time of that revenue but obviously had a ton of help from the company that acquired us and spun out the company.
- xmprt 4y agoIt's also a lot of luck and being at the right place at the right time. It seems like the company that became ZipX was acquired for 50M but before that it only generated about 200k in revenue. If the timing wasn't right (with the onset of COVID) or no one knew about his company then he wouldn't have that success. It really demonstrates the importance of continuing to work even after failures and pivoting often because you never know when or which idea will take off.
