Last year a couple of students at
Bizdom U put their heads together and came to conclusion that going green might by in style, but most people usually can’t do it stylishy. That realization led to the birth of Guffly,
TechTown's latest Internet start-up.
The company features a new eco-friendly product on its Web site every day. They also make a point to find products that have a bit of flair to them. The website is set to launch midway through this month.
"If style and eco-friendly made a love child it would be Guffly," says Kelley Walker, chief interwebs troublemaker for
Guffly.
The company's two founders -- Chanell Scott (chief love distributor for Guffly) and Jordan Contreras (chief strategic friendship ninja for Guffly) -- plan to establish the company in its first year and continue to build its network of suppliers.
The products for Guffly (a combination of the words good and stuff with an -ly added to the end to make it catchy) range from pets' toys to cutting boards. These eco-friendly products are aimed at young professionals or empty nesters. "We don’t go for the kids stuff so much," Walker says.
