Early, Well-Known Disruptors
There’s a “Gold Rush Mentality” which always drives the most creative entrepreneurs toward market opportunities. However, in reality the most successful entrepreneurs of the California Gold Rush of 1849 were not the miners, those seeking gold, but the merchants that developed and sold goods and supplies in support of those chasing the gold.
In 1853, Levi Strauss, a Bavarian immigrant, was a dry goods wholesaler in San Francisco. In response to a gold miner’s complaint about work pants falling apart, Levi Strauss created denim work clothing with patented copper rivet technology “for men who toil.” The Levi Strauss Company continues today, with an emphasis on innovation and annual revenues in the billions.
“The Internet is like a gold rush; the only people making money are those who sell the pans.” Will Hobbs
