From Zero to Snarky Hero

From College Dreams to a Reality

Nathaniel Treichler didn’t just start Sleazy Greetings to make people laugh—he had a bigger dream. As a college student, he spent countless hours in his cramped dorm room, daydreaming about a business that could turn his passion for humor into a success story. But behind those jokes and snark, there was a heartfelt goal: to retire his parents and give them the comfortable life they deserved.

The Humble Beginnings

It all began in August 2017. Nathaniel was standing in the greeting card aisle of a local store, searching for a birthday card for his brother. He scanned through rows of dull, uninspired options and thought, “Is this seriously the best we can do?” As he trudged back to his tiny dorm room, he had a revelation: what if he created his own cards? Cards that weren’t just bland sentiments but captured the real, messy, hilarious sides of life? Cards that said what everyone was really thinking but didn't have the guts to say out loud. So, he decided to do just that.

Nathaniel turned his college apartment closet into his makeshift office. It was the kind of closet where you could barely turn around without bumping into the stack of cardstock or tripping over a box of envelopes. But it was in that tiny, cramped space that he began Sleazy Greetings—a brand that’s all sass, zero class. Because who needs class when you can sell unhinged cards instead?

The Drive Behind the Laughter

Nathaniel’s motivation wasn’t just to create funny cards. His parents had always worked to support him, making countless sacrifices to ensure he had every opportunity to succeed. He wanted to repay them for all they had done by building a business that would one day allow him to retire them. It was his way of saying “thank you” for the years of love and hard work they had given him. Plus, what better way to say "thanks" than “YOU’RE F*CKING AMAZING” on a card instead?

A Dream Realized

As the months and years passed, Sleazy Greetings began to gain traction. By 2021, Nathaniel’s dream was no longer just a small business; it had grown into a thriving company with a diverse lineup of cards and thousands of satisfied customers. But the success of Sleazy Greetings meant more to Nathaniel than just personal achievement. It was the first step toward fulfilling his ultimate goal: retiring his parents and giving them the life they had always deserved.
