6 Entrepreneurs Reveal Their Strange Startup Buddies


Scream out your thoughts

Brett Farmiloe - Markitors

“My Min Pin, Frisco, and I have been “working” together for the last couple of years. Working with him has taught me that our own head space can be our worst enemy. What sounds like a good idea in your head might not be a great idea in practice. To prevent bad ideas, I tell Frisco what I’m thinking. By talking through my idea out loud with him, I can find out what needs to be improved or get confirmation on my concept. If Frisco were a human, he’d be really annoyed with me. But since he’s a dog, I can bounce ideas off him without any worries.”

Have fun and work

Martina Welke – Zealyst

“I adopted a puppy about a year into my startup, and it definitely enhanced my quality of life. Watching her play reminds me to follow suit. Don’t take work or life too seriously. Sometimes, you just need a break. This realization has done great things for my energy and creativity, and for my startup!”

Live in the present and to the fullest

Shama Kabani - The Marketing Zen Group

“From Snoopy, our office mascot and a vivacious Maltipoo, I’ve learned that living in the present moment is the best gift you can give yourself. He loves it when he gets a treat, but he is just as content taking a nap on my pillow.”
