How Ed Vincent Built his Business through Determination Super Entrepreneurs Podcast
-
- Entrepreneurship
In entrepreneurship, determination always goes a long way. According to Ed, his determination has played a massive role in making him the successful businessperson he is today.
His entrepreneurial spirit kicked in when he was 13. He has failed in a couple of businesses, but today he is doing great at the Festival Pass; a platform that provides frictionless access to live events and uses the points system for its members to gain access to events. (Their model is like Amazon Prime's, where you pay a certain amount of membership fees and enjoy fast deliveries with no transport costs.)
More About Ed’s Platform.
Festival Pass believes you deserve transparency.
They will never add fees at the end of any of your purchase. The price you see is the price you pay; and including their no added fees policy, members pay up to 30% less than you will pay elsewhere. You also have an Amazon prime membership to get free shipping and other unique perks.
They help you discover events you love and give you access to thousands of events with a unique credit system. As a member, you can also book your hotel for significant discounts using your member credits.

He has been an entrepreneur for over 25 years, and has had multiple companies along the way. He’s currently super passionate about working on festival Pass, and has also successfully built and exited other businesses.

Ed believes his inner superpower is determination. It has seen him through difficult business times. Determination gave him the courage to build other businesses even after failing, especially in the early days of the internet.
