Solé自行车公司

Solé Bicycles

创立时间：2009年

创始人：杰克•迈德维尔和乔纳森•施里夫特曼

就读学校：南加州大学

    对于南加州大学（University of Southern California）这样大的学校，自行车无疑是校园通勤最便捷的交通工具。但是自行车不光只是交通工具，更是个性的体现。

    2009年，同在兄弟会的杰克•迈德维尔和乔纳森•施里夫特曼开始在寝室出售色彩各异的固定齿轮自行车，每台310美元。第一批200辆自行车很快售罄，公司从此步入发展的快车道。Solés公司目前的盈利全部用于发展公司业务。

    迈德维尔和施里夫特曼正在和投资者接触，商讨将业务拓展至西海岸以外的区域。他们预计公司在下一个自然年的营收将达到100万美元。

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.
