Thatcher Wine grew up in an entrepreneurial household (upstairs from the business in fact). He tried a stint in a large consulting firm before he got fired (just kidding, before he was “called”) and became a founding entrepreneur in the tech sector of a startup that didn’t gain traction. He paid the tuition on that education, then moved to Boulder and slowly, the idea for Juniper Books began to germinate. Juniper is now a leading provider of curated libraries for both residential and institutional customers—some of them with Juniper’s artistic custom jackets.
