What started as a three-person team making t-shirts in a garage grew into a huge company. In 2013, when I was only 22 years old, I co-founded Printful.

The Startup Vitamins Connection

Before Printful, we ran Startup Vitamins, selling motivational posters. At peak, it did about $1 million in top line revenue profitably. We used those profits to buy our first t-shirt printers.

The Early Days

At first, we printed posters in our co-founder's living room. The more orders we got, the less feasible it became. We needed to scale up and move beyond posters into apparel.

Bootstrapping Through the Struggle

Cash had to be injected pretty regularly from our other businesses to meet payroll, but customers wanted our products, and orders kept growing.

Building the Network

With over $83.7 million invested in equipment, we use industry-leading tech to fulfill more than 1 million items every month. We have fulfillment centers in the US, Mexico, and Europe.

The Numbers Today

Since our founding in 2013, Printful has scaled to a team of 1,700+ people and did $289 million in revenue in 2021.
