Zazzle is an online retailer that allows users to upload images and create their own merchandise (clothing, posters, etc), or buy merchandise created by other users, similar to CafePress.com, as well as use images from participating companies such as The Walt Disney Company.[1] Users are allowed to open their own shop for free and set the profit they wish to make on each item.
Zazzle was founded in 2003 by Robert Beaver, and his sons Bobby and Jeff Beaver. In 2005, Google investors John Doerr and Ram Shriram invested US$16 million into the business.[1][2] The site was recognized by TechCrunch as 2007's "best business model" in its first annual "Crunchies" awards,[3] and has been noted by industry experts, such as B. Joseph Pine, for its easy-to-use technology.
Robert Beaver is a serial entrepreneur. Bobby and Jeff Beaver graduated from Stanford Class of 2003.
