About Cody Mc Guffie
1st company, year 2000 - Age 8 - Set up a "little tikes" table on the street corner and sold baseball cards, Pokemon cards, and Motocross stickers to the neighborhood kids. Killed it. 2nd company, year 2001 - Age 9 - Purchased candy bars in bulk from Rite Aid and sold them to school kids. Crushed it until the teachers shut down the hustle. 3rd company, year 2002 - Age 10 - 15 yo - going door to door to the neighborhood convenience stores and home owners offering to help them move inventory, sweep parking lots, pull weeds, etc... This is when I realized there are better ways to make money. In hindsight, I was always an entrepreneur at heart. It just took me a while to figure it out. I've always loved doing what others probably wouldn't do. Starting something from scratch and building it into something of substance. I went to Menlo College in the Silicon Valley to study business, started my professional career in technical recruiting at Qualcomm. While working a full time career, I needed to be doing more, my wife and I started a Real Estate investment company where we flipped over 8 properties in San Diego and out of state.. on the side. Later started an e-commerce business selling products on multiple platforms to customers all over the world where I was exposed to tons of problems in global e-commerce for small companies. I believe we have an obligation to do our absolute best to help as many people as possible - fortunately, tech makes this possible - at scale. These experiences led me to starting a company called EverBee... In less than 3 years, our remarkable team has built a platform that serves over 500k users across the globe. Customer-Centric. Bootstrapped. Profitable. Not stopping. At EverBee, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue their passions and live life on their own terms.
