In 2008, Elliot Bisnow decided for good that he wanted to help other young entrepreneurs. Being only in his twenties himself, Bisnow understands a lot of the issues and challenges that young aspiring entrepreneurs face. His venture is called the Summit Series which in 2008 consisted of gathering as many young entrepreneurs as he could and essentially having a summit which has been compared to TED Events for young entrepreneurial innovation. While only 19 people and Bisnow were part of the first Summit, he was able to bring in some heavy hitters such as the founder of TOMS Shoes. Only two years later in 2010, Bisnow managed to have the event in Washington D.C. where it was opened to the public for the first time and charged $2,500 per person. This conference drew in a crowd of 750 attendees and drew in many more speakers on the subjects of the talks.

I think this is a great idea and business just because it is all about what we have been talking about with these blogs. It is all about young, successful entrepreneurs. This guy is not only one himself, but what he is doing is trying to help others just like him to be successful in their endeavors. He was able to have the President request his services within two years of starting out. I don’t know much else that is that impressive. He managed to get the founders of TOMS Shoes, Twitter, and many other to come to this. All within the first two years. His revenues have not been released, but I can imagine he is doing very well for being in his twenties.
