In this episode of "The Accelerator," host Michael Conniff interviews Jeremy Lessaris, a serial entrepreneur with eight company exits under his belt. Jeremy discusses his journey through entrepreneurship, sharing both the successes and challenges he's faced along the way. He delves into the lessons learned from his first exit, the online furniture retailer FurnitureStock.com, and how it shaped his approach to future ventures.
Jeremy also introduces his current company, Payment Brokers, a business focused on advocating for small to medium-sized businesses in the payment processing industry. Unlike traditional processors, Payment Brokers uses machine learning to analyze and reduce the hidden costs that small businesses often face. Jeremy emphasizes the importance of having a purpose-driven business and how his experiences led him to focus on helping others through cost reduction rather than just profit.
Tune in to hear insights on entrepreneurship, the importance of aligning business with passion, and how Payment Brokers is changing the game for small businesses.
