01 ABOUT
Nick BortotBeen there.
Built that.
Entrepreneur, founder & startup advisor.
I'm an entrepreneur who has spent more than 25 years building consumer businesses, from being part of the founding team at BinckBank to founding BUX.
Along the way, I've raised over $100 million in funding, built and scaled teams, and experienced what it takes to bring a business from idea to exit.
Today, I work alongside a select number of early-stage founders, sharing what I've learned to help them build businesses of their own.
