Allison Kugel
Allison Kugel is an American public relations professional and entrepreneur. In 2001 Kugel founded two online enterprises which led to her being featured in Entrepreneur Magazine in 2004.
Kugel was laid off after 9/11. She was inspired to become an entrepreneur after reading an Internet start-up book owned by her 15-year-old brother, Jared.
Kugel launched a second website, TireSignal.com, after her father showed her a clever but then-unpopular tire cap with a pressure indicator he'd received as a sample. TireSignal.com sold a similar product that Kugel's cousin had developed.
