Zeke is the co-founder and CEO of Pure Investments, a cryptocurrency investment community and content publishing company based in Burlington, VT.
Zeke was a sophomore at Champlain College when he founded Pure Investments, which attracted 10,000 users within their first year in business.
He and his co-founder Miles placed third in the 2018 LaunchVT Collegiate pitch competition and have built a team of analysts and content creators in the crypto niche and have been able to monetize their audience through paid memberships for premium content.
Some of the things Nate, Zeke and I talked about on this episode of the Young Founders Podcast:
How he built Pure Investments from $0 to $60,000/m in recurring revenue in less than 18 months.
How online networking sparked a relationship with his co-founder
If you have an idea, don't just let it be an idea. Turn it into something that's tangible. Make it a reality. All you have to do [as an entrepreneur] is take that first step. Once you take that first step all the other steps are a lot easier because you've already got the ball rolling. The worst that can happen is you fail– and that's a really great thing to happen.
Kickstarting their business with content marketing
How he juggles running a company with college classes and social activities
Building and selling long-boards in high school
It's crazy. We didn't see it as ever becoming a company. [We were just] doing it for fun on the side.
Building a Discord community and the pros and cons of Discord as a platform
Why you shouldn't take money from VCs
His biggest mistake: outsourcing product development overseas
We did a lot of marketing in the right places.
How the Pure Investment team stays connected with a remote workforce using Slack as a communication tool
Customer segmenting
Generating subscriptions and revenue through referrals and word of mouth
We wrapped up the podcast with a testimonial for Pure Investments:
Pure Investments is the best investment community I've ever joined. The calls the staff give are top-notch backed with solid and accurate technical analysis. Furthermore, the community is very friendly and helpful. I would strongly recommend anyone who's looking to join an investment group to join Pure Investments. - Andy
