John Larson is one of those serial entrepreneurs that are going to be cultivated by more communities in the future. He started out in the Lake Tahoe/Reno area, sold his business for millions and moved to the small town of Winthrop, Washington (population 350).
His new entrepreneurial endeavor is homemovie.com, a company that will take your home movies, digitize them and put them on the web so that you can share them with family and friends. The company has been written up in the New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, Parade and other publications. It is cutting edge!
Larson’s growing company is becoming a key employer in Winthrop and Larson is investing in fixing up the historic downtown area. Already he has spent over $1 million into this effort.
But, he needs more workers and he wants to encourage other entrepreneurs to start businesses in Winthrop. He has a new website www.bringbackthekids.com that is focused upon doing just that. I love the first page of the website:
You know who they are…..
They used to live here, too
Now they only visit on holidays
Wouldn’t it be nice to have them home again?
