Some of the people behind the start-ups are immigrants from countries like Sri Lanka, Taiwan and China. One of those start-ups is called Cloud of Goods. It is an online business that links local residents who have things to rent with tourists who need those things. People who need car seats, strollers, bicycles or camping equipment can use the service to rent these goods. Punsri Abeywickrema is the founder of Cloud of Goods. He is from Sri Lanka. He says he has based his business on the fact that we all buy goods that we do not use all the time. When they are not being used, they can be rented to someone else. “The idea was, you know, there's a lot of resources that we all (have) accumulated in our homes, in our garages, in our closets, that (are) sitting idle, and how can we use this to make it better for everyone?” The company just opened for business. Workers at the company recently celebrated its first $500 of income with a drink of sparkling wine.
