We started Instagarage in a Fema trailer and the idea came to me when we evacuated to Georgia for Hurricane Katrina. My wife contacted a lady in charge of the red cross operations in Georgia and she explained to us that they would be giving away some cards and other items, but we had to get there at about 5:00 A.M to be one of the first people to get our cards. Once we arrived at 5:00 A.M., there were about 50,000 people in line. So word really travels fast. I thought about it for a while and it wasn’t until we were living in the Fema trailer, that it hit me. Why not start an internet company that provides ultimate shopping experience by offering a universal gift card that allow consumers to shop at the retailer of their choice and not be confined to one store, like conventional gift cards.
