Mana-tees.com was started in 2005 by
two law students in Chicago, Sam Arieti and Mike Cohen. The idea
began when Sam got bored one day in a class about Venture Capital and
Mike suggested that he occupy himself using his laptop’s Paint
program. Within a few classes, Sam was sketching cute manatee
drawings. Check out the progression of his artwork throughout the
Venture Capital course:
 
 
 
The combination of manatees and venture
capital was too alluring a possibility to go unnoticed. The
entrepreneurial-spirited Mike Cohen put the two ideas together and
came up with the ingenious name “mana-tees.com” and a
scintillating business plan. The combination of Sam’s creative and
caring passion for manatees and Mike’s intense pecuniary
aspirations threatens to take the t-shirt world by storm.
