To Upvote a Business

The more technical aspects of the website are sub-contracted to a developer in the United Kingdom.

Meanwhile, Jessop continues to juggle student and work life with his business, which is he running alone. Recently completing his second year of studies at Ryerson, he continues to do web development work on the side.

Klipur has been in conception for years, but Jessop says he only put consistent work into it in January, signaling a rapid six-month timeframe from beginning to expected launch.

“Klipur’s been on the side with school and work for the most part, but I’m still trying to put a lot of hours into it because I believe it can be something special,” he says.

Despite its rapid ascent, Jessop says Klipur’s launch is already later than intended.

But it is one that will stay.

Though the young entrepreneur ran his previous business venture for about 18 months before passing it off in a private sale, Klipur will not be sold — or, at least, in the near future.

“I’d want to stick with Klipur as long as I can and help it expand, but it would be awesome if it got big enough to be bought,” he says. “I’m sure that would be a very attractive offer.”
