About Me

Hi! I’m Will Doyle. I'm a student at Olympus High School. Growing up, I’ve always had a strong fascination with business—especially entrepreneurship. I love the process and intricate details that go into building a business from the ground up. I value hard work, resilience, and discipline, as I believe they are essential to success in business. I applied to the Granite CEO program to further grow my knowledge of entrepreneurship, as I believe it will be incredibly beneficial to both my personal and professional growth. My goal is to create a profitable business that not only challenges me but also teaches me valuable lessons along the way. Academically, I’ve taken multiple AP courses and am actively involved in business-focused clubs. I’m a member of DECA, the Olympus Stock and Investing Club, and am the Vice President of Olympus’s FBLA program. I’m also an alum of the highly selective Griptape Challenge. I have a strong interest in e-commerce and have created a profitable business in just a few months. I hope to continue scaling that and exploring new opportunities. In my free time, I enjoy golfing, basketball, climbing, learning more about business, and hanging out with friends. 

About My Business

Akinete is an outdoor brand that is starting out by selling one specific product. The Akinete Stratalite is an ultralight foldable backpack that is made of paragliding-grade ripstop nylon that can fold into your pocket. 

 

The product is meant for travellers, hikers, or everyday carry. The goal of the product is to create an affordable, high-quality, cool solution to the everyday problem of storage. The branding is inspired by futuristic streetwear themes combined with nature. The name Akinete is inspired by a specific type of cell that withstands harsh conditions and improves constantly. This is the goal I am trying to achieve with my brand. I will sell this product on TikTok shop and scale to different channels of commerce in the future.
