“I was given the chance to work on business ideas based on the fact that the founders thought I was doing a good job.” “At Draugiem, if you do good work and gather trust, you’re given more opportunities to step up in your career,” Siksnans says. This means that everyone at the company has the opportunity to come up with the next big idea. What makes Draugiem’s model unique is that it doesn’t source ideas from outsiders-only from its own founders and employees. Today, only 12 of these businesses remain, which is the nature of entrepreneurship, Siksnans says. Over the course of 15 years, Draugiem Group funded over 100 business ideas. So it came as no surprise when Siksnans secured his first job as an IT administrator with Draugiem Group, a startup incubator and one of the most exciting technology companies to work for in his home country of Latvia. In the process, he realized he had a knack for turning ideas into businesses. Fascinated by technology from a young age, he taught himself to code, saved up his allowance to purchase his first computer, and built custom websites for his friends and neighbors. Long before his days as Printful’s CEO and co-founder, Siksnans always knew he would end up doing something in tech. As a result, Printful has grown exponentially since its launch six years ago and now has a 500-person team across the U.S., Mexico, and Europe. This leading drop-shipping, fulfillment, and printing business has mastered the process of creating on-demand ecommerce products. While not all of his ventures took off, they were critical stepping stones to Siksnans building his most successful business yet-Printful. He’s especially excelled at improving the fulfillment process, allowing businesses to whip up clever ecommerce product ideas and then ship them out to eager customers in a heartbeat. Having spent much of his career working at a startup incubator, coming up with ideas and helping to bring them into reality, much of Siksnans’ expertise has involved smoothing out and speeding up that business-building experience. Success On Demand How Printful co-founder Davis Siksnans rose to the top by helping entrepreneurs custom print and ship products with greater speed and ease.ĭavis Siksnans’ motto as an entrepreneur has always been, “If you can’t find it, build it.” It’s led him to some fascinating and quirky pursuits, from building a business that sells customized friendship bracelets to launching an ecommerce store that creates motivational posters for startups.
