Career
[edit | edit source]Andon founded Vuly Trampolines at the age of 18.[2] Using money he made from his marketing venture along with a loan from his father, he began the company out of his bedroom.[2] He got the initial idea after running his finger down a list of products before it settled on trampolines.[2] He purchased a container load of the product and set up a website to sell them.[2] Andon began redesigning trampolines with fewer parts and more safety features, eventually manufacturing the ones he sold.[1][3] Andon expanded Vuly Trampolines internationally with products being sold in Australia, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe.[4]
