Take a stand and keep Workin’

Having initially started in September 2020, the Workin’ Stand Brand was originally brought to life by four individuals (Amr Al-Hamdan, Humza Khan, Arshdeep Grewal and Lakisitha Dissanayake) who had become roommates, good friends, and then eventually business partners, through studying and taking classes together at Wilfrid Laurier University. These four motivated individuals all had goals in mind of becoming successful entrepreneurs, having bonded over watching the television shows Dragon’s Den and Shark Tank, these four individuals made it clear that they would eventually have their “Shark-tank/Dragon's den” moment as well.

When these four individuals were registered to take CP340 Ecommerce, the vision of building a brand become more and more realistic. With the guidance and teachings of Professor Ahmed Ibrahim, the four men began to experience all that needs to go into developing the perfect eCommerce platform.

This start-up brand features four Computer Science undergraduate students who have spent countless hours sitting down at a desk, working on development projects and studying for content-heavy exams, believing that, even the things we do not necessarily notice like the way we complete our work extremely affects our efficacy.

Through countless nights of brainstorming and experimenting different business ideas during our time at Wilfrid Laurier University, and from experience of constant stress and tiredness, the four individuals aimed to develop a product that eased these underlying tensions and focused on promoting excellent ergonomics. 

The easiest way to ensure a healthy lifestyle is to alternate between standing and sitting, and with the Standing Desk, Workin’ Stand has made it possible to obtain a quality product for an affordable price.
