"THERE I WAS..."
The writing has been on the wall for months, and I suppose David Hogg finally decided to read it because the 20-year-old activist who sought out to prove that “progressives can make a better pillow, run a better business and help make the world a better place while doing it” has decided to leave his start-up competitor to Mike Lindell’s MyPillow.
Hogg made the announcement on Twitter.
“A couple weeks ago, a very spontaneous interaction over Twitter between me and William LeGate led to us trying to start a progressive pillow company,” he said, though actually it was a couple of months ago. “The goal was and still is to create a great pillow that is sustainably produced in domestic unionized factories and have a percentage of those profits benefit progressive social causes. We were met with immediate and overwhelming support. But I soon realized that given my activism, schoolwork, and family commitments, I could not give 100% to being a full time co-founder at Good Pillow.”
Though, as it was clear to anyone who was paying attention as Hogg tried to launch his pillow company, the endeavor was plagued from the start, even though Hogg seemingly gave it all his attention. He made public pleas for ideas and suggestions that felt more like desperate cries for help than legitimate crowdsourcing. Hogg’s partner made a public appeal for a “top tier” graphic designer to design the company’s logo. He offered a mere $200 and demanded the logo in less than two hours so it could be featured in the Washington Post‘s feature story, which was published February 9.
