After returning from travels to Colombia, he connected with Vere-Nicoll, a high school buddy who graduated 2 1/2 years ago from CU's Leeds School of Business and was also having a tough time finding work.

But Vere-Nicoll and Simons figured that instead of waiting for job offers, they'd launch their own company in a college town where the demand for hangover cures is high.
