The Handy Hat Story

Handy Hats was founded by Danielle Ruffolo, a student at the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio during her sophomore year. The idea was originally pitched as a part of the Sophomore Experience class for Entrepreneurship majors that she was in. After the idea was pitched to the class in a sixty second elevator pitch, Handy Hats was voted and selected by her fellow classmates to be created into an on-campus micro business. After recruiting fellow classmates to be a part of her team, the Handy Hats journey truly launched.

After weeks of hard work and collaboration, Handy Hats was created. The truly unique and patented feature of each Handy Hat, it that it contains a pouch that readily stores any small items that are essential to living out your daily life such as a set of keys, cash, credit cards, an ID or even chapstick - the options are endless.

Handy Hats are available online at www.myhandyhats.com or email [email protected] with any business inquires.
