Shawn David Nelson
Founder, CEO, and Rebel
The LoveSac Corporation

From sewing the first Sac on his mother’s sewing machine to participating as a contestant on a reality show, this 28-year-old founder of The LoveSac Corporation has never shied away from a challenge. Instead, he’s taken conventional wisdom and covered it in Puppy Fur. Creating the alternative to lame furniture is just the beginning.

"We're headed toward owning [the market for] oversized living. We're going to have a catalog that'll be three inches thick, selling everything that's over-the-top, bling-bling, LoveSac-get-out-of-our-freaking-way."
