Summary List PlacementAndrew Gazdecki had an inauspicious resume before starting his own business. He'd gotten fired from a campus design job while attending California State University, Chico, after making an error that resulted in $500 worth of ruined flyers. But in 2010, Gazdecki launched Bizness Apps, which enabled businesses to easily launch their own apps using customizable templates. Over the course of eight years, he grew it into a profitable company with $10 million in annual sales while only taking $100,000 from angel investors.
