In contrast to the timeline for the company below, Underground Printing's history actually began in 1992. In the sixth grade, Rishi Narayan and Ryan Gregg, co-founders of UGP, first crossed paths. They became close buddies after many broken glasses and several pickup basketball games, which helped to establish the modern Underground Printing.
Ryan and Rishi both attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor after high school, but their engineering studies didn't exactly hold their interest. The pair gained some small business experience from Ryan's dorm room loft building company, both good and bad! They continued their search for a longer-term business venture after getting the entrepreneurial bug.
