JIGGY Jigsaw Puzzles

Entrepreneurs: Kaylin Marcotte

Jiggy Puzzles is founded by Kaylin Marcotte in 2019 and sells puzzles that feature unique, one-of-a-kind artistic quality designs of female artists. Their unique business approach gives a portion of the sales to go directly to the artist.

The company became quickly popular and by the end of 2021 according to Kaylin, Jiggy Puzzles was expected to make $2.25 million in sales. Besides selling unique jigsaw puzzles and designs, Jiggy Puzzles also offers a subscription service, where you can get new products and promotions ahead of time and access to a private community.

This jigsaw puzzle is made of premium chipboard with thick puzzle pieces and a soft-touch matte finish that fit together perfectly to create a display-worthy puzzle. You can use the included glue to transform your masterpiece once you finish the puzzle, into wall art decor.

In the beginning, Kaylin contacted female artists in the New York area and start working with them to contribute designs for her puzzles, and later reached out to female artists from all over the globe. One of the charity goals of Kaylin is to inspire and help young women pursue their own passion for art.

The sales that the two founders demonstrated to the Sharks were not bad at all and they made $324,000 in sales in 2020, but the sharks felt that there is nothing unique about The Bumbling Bee and to prevent other companies from doing the same thing.
