Stacey Kohler, Founder & CEO of Kiddy Crawler, was a new grandmother. And she was on a mission to find the Crawligator for her new granddaughter. Stacey remembered the Crawligator from her childhood and how it helped kids develop mobility and core strength.
She found an old one on ebay, and bought it. But that lead her to wonder what happened to this amazing toy. It turns out, it ended up in the dust bin, sort of like the toys in the movie Toy Story. Stacey revived the toy, found a way to manufacture it to today's standards, and is rapidly growing her company.
Her story is one of persistence, determination, taking one step at a time, and asking for and finding help in many places. She shares her story on The Savvy Entrepreneur, and offers plenty of lessons learned for others starting out.
It's a wonderful story, with a completely relatable founder, and one helping kids' development. Click on the arrow to listen, or go here for a transcript of the interview.
