How did Textbookt Start?
Started in Aug. 2022 with 3 college friends who come together for a Pitch competition at New Mexico State with the idea of a better way to buy textbooks. After winning first place at the competition Textbookt was born. Since then the other Co-Founders left the company but Aaron and John are still an important part of the Textbookt story. We see a future of using smart contracts to better implement security and cost-effective solutions for textbook purchasing for College students and more.
