Cool company: Threadless.com

Check out this cool company! Their main product is t-shirts, which -by its self- is not that special. However, they let the customers design! A really good example of crowdsourcing. Everyone can submit a design, which is then reviewed and rated by other users – who can also express their wish to buy the shirt in case it will be produced. Once the company receives enough pre-orders the shirt is taken into production and the designer gets $1000 & his/her name printed on the label.

So far about 400 different designs have been produced, so you could say the owners are doing quite well for themselves . In case you like Threadless, check out its sister site Naked & Angry.
