Case Study

My name is Krista Woods and I am the Director of Stink Operations at GloveStix LLC.

I made it to the finals and then before I knew it I won the whole thing which sent me to sell live on QVC and I sold out in 7 ½ minutes. That was 3 years ago today actually and it was that contest that really put my company on the map. Since then, I have won 6 more awards from large organizations, been written about in over 30 articles, been on 11 TV shows including ABC’s Shark Tank and even filmed a Pitch Pilot for a Reality TV Series. It sure has been an amazing whirlwind!

Hey, I’m David Zamarin. I’m 21 years-old, a student at Babson College and founder of DetraPel.

Since starting DetraPel over 5 years ago when I was 15 years old, the versatility and eco-friendliness of our products are just two of the many factors which I believe enabled us to make over $512,000 in sales in the last year.
