14 2 0 19 E N D E AVO R O U T L I E R S K YLE HOFF Floyd MARCO FISB H EN Descomplica MATE PENCZ Loft My personal goal is to build a business or businesses that creatively solve some of our biggest problems of today — I'd really like to leave this planet a better place than when I came into it. Right I'm working on changing the way people consume & keep furniture since 10 million tons end up in a landfill each year. Well designed, quality products should be accessible to everyone & the means by which one buys them should be a thoughtful, inspiring experience. The home and the built world is a personal focus because I studied architecture and I truly believe that more businesses should solve problems through a design lens. Husband. Father of 2. Teacher. Founder. Changing the world by helping people understand that learning is for everybody. German-born Mate Pencz moved to Brazil and started Printi, an online business printing startup backed by American investors including Greenoaks Capital Management. After two years, he and his co-founder sold a minority stake to Vistaprint in a deal that valued their company at more than $50 million. Products like business cards and catalogues can be customized and saved with web tools, while algorithms aggregate orders, allowing Printi to buy products in bulk from factories and cut costs.
