West Bloomfield Brothers Among Crain's Twenty in Their 20s

West Bloomfield natives Andrew and Ryan Landau, whose entrepreneurial careers began in middle school and high school, have been named to a list of metro Detroit's rising stars in their 20s. 

The brothers are profiled in Crain's Detroit magazine's "Twenty in their 20s", which honors metro Detroiters who have achieved success at a young age. According to Crain's, their online office supplies business Chalkfly is expected to rake in $2 million in revenues this year. 

Chalkfly's unique approach in a very competitive market was the subject of an article published earlier this month at TechCrunch.com. The company distinguishes itself, in part, by giving 5 percent of each purchase to teachers. 

In June 2012, West Bloomfield Patch published a Q&A with the brothers about their business: 5 Questions: Chalkfly's Ryan and Andrew Landau.
