Jared Gay and Tom Brinton

Jared and Tom are cool.

They formed a super cool app, Flip - check out their website here.

When I first met with Jared and Tom, it was under the premise that I would introduce them to some possibly interested investors. After talking more about their app, Flip, I saw it may not have been the best fit for the people I was thinking of.

Despite some hiccups in the initial stages of their business, Tom and Jared shared with me a lot of great insights on what it means to be an entrepreneur. They are two guys who love learning and applied their problem-solving skills from college to the pains that they experienced on a day to day basis. For me, the biggest lesson I learned from Jared and Tom were their ability to identify a real problem and then provide a unique solution.

Another great lesson I learned from Jared was the ability to make a lot happen with a little bit of resources. Jared studied Public Relations at BYU and I guess that's where he learned to make an impact without any funding. They have a pretty solid PR campaign going and are hoping to finish the back end development on Flip asap - stay tuned so that you can start selling your stuff with ease.
