Hootsuite founder Ryan Holmes launches Oristand for those who don't want to sit at work
You would think that Vancouver entrepreneur Ryan Holmes has enough to keep himself busy.
The 41-year-old founder and CEO of Hootsuite has insisted in the past that he has no plans to sell the company.
But he still found time to launch a new venture, Oristand, for those who don't find it comfortable to sit at a desk all day.
The company has pioneered a much cheaper way for people to stand while they work on a computer. It came as a result of Holmes himself feeling discomforted while sitting as a result of sports injuries.
Rather than selling conventional desks, Oristand is marketing a contraption that can be placed on top of surfaces. It sells for US$25 (which is now about CDN$35).
You can check it out in the video below.
Oristand was in the works for a couple of years but Holmes and his partners waited until this week to officially launch the company.
