Saachi Cywinski
Founder
I was born in Melbourne, Australia and grew up in Bali, Indonesia, currently living in Los Angeles on a green card. I started WhiteyBoard, in 2010 with $500 while attending college at Loyola Marymount University. While studying finance, I became obsessed with using whiteboards. In 2010, LMU opened its much-anticipated, state-of-the-art library - a facility that was covered with dry-erase boards from floor-to-ceiling. I practically lived there, using them night and day. Before long, many others starting using them. I got crowded out, so I decided to make my own floor-to-ceiling whiteboard. After searching for a cheap, large-size whiteboard, I realized there wasn’t one to be found. I used the initial $500 to build website and asked Techcrunch to write an article. They did, and we ended up doing $20k in sales and used proceeds to finance the company. In 2011, we secured $150K in funding from billionaire Mark Cuban.
