SUMMARY:Art of the Hustle
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be an entrepreneur? How can you get i
 nitial funding to start a business? Do you have what it takes to launc
 h a successful business? These are the questions that fill the heads o
 f any aspiring entrepreneur. In this Lunch and Learn\, Vikram Chopra w
 ill discuss the questions plaguing startups and those in the early sta
 ge journey of entrepreneurship. Vikram will give an overview of what a
 n entrepreneur needs to put in place before launching a startup\, buil
 ding a dynamic team\, raising funds\, and implementing key milestones 
 in a business plan.\n\nAbout the author\n\nVikram Chopra is a charisma
 tic entrepreneur and founder of Gift Jeenie\, a one-stop-shop app aggr
 egating wishlists\, shopping carts\, and deals from online retailers.\
 n\nIt all started by offering consulting services as a side hustle to 
 gain additional income. Vikram’s part-time gig allowed him to dive hea
 dfirst into doing business with other startups\, which slowly evolved 
 into launching a startup of his own: Gift Jeenie. With his background 
 in marketing and sales\, he connected the dots between the large amoun
 ts of retailer data scattered throughout the web and how consumers fel
 t frustrated when they weren’t able to find great deals. So like any e
 ntrepreneurial spirit\, he quickly jumped on the opportunity to captur
 e the market. Vikram’s future plans include incorporating blockchain t
 echnology into offering exclusive deals and cash-back rewards.\n\nVikr
 am has over a decade of experience in the startup space\; specializes 
 in taking concepts to market. He has launched several successful produ
 cts and driven strong user acquisition for multiple tech startups in t
 he consumer\, retail\, mobile\, food-tech and fin-tech space. Gift Jee
 nie\, is being featured this fall on National Television in a new Star
 tup reality series. Vikram is also an Instructor & Mentor with 2020 St
 artups\, a New York based accelerator program. Prior to Gift Jeenie\, 
 he has cofounded and successfully exited RoundAssist\, a start-up in t
 he cloud computing and professional IT services space. He has also spe
 arheaded marketing/sales launches for several startups- Mobile Miser\,
  freedomone mobile\, Munch Ninja/Infuse Mobile\, Impulsivity & Alphina
