When many others would’ve given up and moved on, Telana Simpson stuck to her guns.
She had been inspired by Kyle MacDonald, a Canadian who was trying to trade up from one paperclip to a house. He had been inspired by a childhood game and icebreaker exercise.
However, while her One Matchstick journey began nearly twenty years ago, Simpson’s fascination with entrepreneurship began much earlier than that. She sent out the first marketing emails to help grow the site and recalled that there were very few items for sale on the platform.Simpson said they just hoped no one would bid high enough as Bidorbuy was running through that laptop, and they desperately needed it.
Roughly a year later, Simpson exchanged the cash for a balloon safari with champagne breakfast for two near Hartebeespoort. Raiz provided a list of items he wanted in exchange for six months’ rent, and Simpson set about working backwards from that.
