Company: Sandy Sail, Naples
Principal: John “JJ” Jenkins
The big idea: John Jenkins was at the dog beach on Fort Myers Beach one day when he saw a man set up a blanket on a pole for shade. That's when he dreamed up Sandy Sail, a sunshade that doesn't blow away like umbrellas do when the wind picks up. Plus, it's easier to set up than a tent. “A mom with two children can put this thing up in five minutes,” Jenkins says.
