Qikpix As a teenager, Jarek Hamilton attempted to start a company, which would re-manufacture ink and toner cartridges. "I got laughed at a lot," he says. "When I went to go open up my first business, banks kind of laughed at me." After that first idea fell through, he ended up working for a barge line company, enlisting in the US Navy, taking a job as a civilian contractor in Afghanistan, and then working for the Army Corps of Engineers. Now, at the age of 29, Hamilton is back in the startup game. He's the CEO of a Bloomington, Illinois-based, on-demand photography service startup Qikpix, which he founded with his wife Katie in August 2015.
