Telana Simpson the brains behind an innovative trading movement called One Match Stick has recently joined forces with Springleap.com, a t-shirt design competition site based in Cape Town, South Africa.
What is One Matchstick?
Telana Simpson is trading a single matchstick up in value until she aquires an item of enough value to trade it for an office. She will then use this office space to mentor other up and coming small business start-ups.
Telana started trading in 2006 with one match stick and at this point in time she is doing her tenth trade, 375 Springleap.com t-shirts! Her last trade was for a party for 150 people.
