Nick is just getting started in his entrepreneurial journey with Lykkly. As Nick reflects on his entrepreneurial journey, he states, “some of my highs have got to be in the experiences I’ve had working with and for really bright entrepreneurs and their startups. Being a part of ClickDimensions, eOne, CoSchedule, and Bushel was very impactful for me. Standing of the shoulders of giants, at various, but relatively early stages was an opportunity to learn, do, and teach.” Nick explains that being part of Startup Weekend was very impactful.

 

“It’s baptism by fire, something I have become extremely comfortable with, almost daily now as an entrepreneur.”
