The beginnings of GoodPillow
The Harvard University student launched Good Pillow to compete with conservative MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. The 20-year-old Hogg aimed to "run a better business and make a better product all with more happy staff than Mike, the pillow guy, while creating US-based Union jobs and helping people," according to an article carried in Insider.
The company was created rather suddenly, as he later admitted, with tech mogul William LeGate. At the time, after facing backlash over his decision, Hogg had tweeted, "If I want to start a pillow company to help people, feed myself and create jobs I’m going to do it," adding, "We really are going to help people, create jobs and more. Doubt me all you want — personally, I don’t care- ultimately know I’m doing this to help people."
People need to stop perpetuating the gaslighting that people that have trauma and ptsd can only do one thing.

Lindell's downfall
At the time, Lindell had reportedly said that there's "nothing wrong with competition that does not infringe on someone's patent". It has been reported that Lindell's company has been dropped by 22 retailers, including Kohl's and Bed Bath & Beyond, who pulled MyPillow's products after it was found that Lindell was spreading voter-fraud conspiracy theories.
