PHILADELPHIA– A Kensington entrepreneur dreams of growing his \u201cfunny yet erotic\u201d greeting card company to a place where people are shorting its stock. \u201cThis whole Wall Street bets thing got my creative juices flowing. It made me think what if I created a company that got super successful then crapped out and people were shorting the stock like AMC and GameStop,\u201d said Tasteful Dudes Greeting Card Company founder Steven Bone. Bone who knows nothing about the greeting card business didn\u2019t let that stop him from creating over two hundred greeting card concepts. \u201cI\u2019m not really an artist but I drew up like a bunch of different cards, some are XXX-rated, I also put together a pitch deck for prospective investors to take a look at. Now that bars are re-opened I\u2019ve really been able to show the pitch deck to a bunch of people. Some people have even given me $20 or bought me a beer to leave them alone.\u201d At press time, Bone began to realize that many greeting card companies aren\u2019t publicly traded and was trying to pivot his concept to another type of business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
