Jeff and his company DormCo are looking for smart and unique ideas for the college dorm industry from people like you! He started out as an inventor so his attitude towards working with inventors is very positive.
Jeff started DormCo in 2010 off of just one product idea, an innovative shelf that he designed for bunk beds. He was a senior in college when he came up with his wooden bed post shelf design and big retailers weren’t interested in his product for the dorm industry. He was just out of college and had a job in pharmaceutical sales at the time but he really wanted to pursue his product and passion. He left his career to follow his dreams knowing that he could go back if he had to but since he has just one life he wanted to go for it.
Jeff continued to follow his dream and since he wasn’t doing it for the money there were times that he wasn’t sure it would work out. There were even some backwards steps in his journey as an entrepreneur including when he ended up in a mall selling jewelry while he was launching his business. He was even stocking Disney movies at one point.
People didn’t understand but he kept battling and in the end it worked out! His original goal was to sell enough to earn 25k a year to make the same income as his wife who was working as a teacher. Today his company DormCo is selling thousands of products and doing millions in sales.
Courtney Laschkewitsch, Managing Director of IGA, recently submitted her innovative product ideas to Jeff and was able to license four products with DormCo. He explained that she sent over a bunch of drawings at first and that some were insane and some were usable. They launched all four of them and one of them is doing pretty good. Jeff explained that DormCo can test products beforehand and find out through trial and error what products will sell well. He further explained that they can order a small original quantity to test because they have established partnerships with factories.
