B.S. Entrepreneurship 2016
Growing up, Mitch always had a passion for entrepreneurship. Whether that was mowing lawns, painting curbs, or selling old toys to the neighborhood kids, he was doing something to earn his own way.
That natural passion for entrepreneurship extended to college. As a member of the second cohort in the Florida State Entrepreneurship Major, he thrived, starting a company called DivvyUp with a mission to help gift socks to those in need. With a model of donating a pair of socks for every pair sold, the company has grown over the past 9 years to sell and gift nearly 3 million pairs of socks around the country.
Still residing in Tallahassee, Mitch continues to run DivvyUp alongside his three original cofounders.
