Zazzle

Robert Beaver and his two sons founded Zazzle.com, a service which enables users to create their own products. Zazzle.com users can create virtually anything, from customized t-shirts to postage stamps. Users can also recieve a commission on products that they sell and design themselves. Zazzle is funded primarily by Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers and Sherpalo Ventures, who in 2005 provided [$16 million](http://www.zazzle.com/mk/welcome/pressreleases/pr071805_1) in seres A funding. Major competitors include [Cafepress](http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/cafepress), [Spreadshirt](http://www.spreadshirt.com/). However, Zazzle's patented color print technology allows them to manufacture multicolored items, especially t-shirts and other clothing items, for pennies at a time.
