My name is Dezmon Landers, CEO of Simplifyed.com and I am proud to announce the acquisition of Startup Hustle! Over the years Tyler has provided great insight for all of us into the areas of internet marketing, SEO and entrepreneurship. I will personally continue this legacy of informative thought provoking content that is interesting and fun. I also plan on delving into the broader areas of startup entrepreneurship including raising capital, product innovation, legal tips and of course internet marketing.
So who is Dezmon Landers?
Well, I am a financial services internet entrepreneur and have had the pleasure of working with Tyler at some of the same startups he has written about in this blog.
My biography is below:
“Dezmon Landers is a graduate of The Ohio State University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Family Financial Management. In one of the worst economies ever recorded Dezmon received fifteen career offers from esteemed Fortune 500 corporations including Goldman Sachs, Nationwide Insurance, Limited Brands and Johnson & Johnson. He has graduated from prestigious national programs such as The Harvard Business School Summer Venture in Management Program in Boston and the Monster.com Diversity Leadership Program in Los Angeles. In 2007, Dezmon was one of only two candidates in the United States chosen to work for Goldman Sachs International in London, England and has worked on Wall Street and Silicon Valley. He has worked with four financially successful internet startups including GotCast.com in the areas of technology, marketing and business development. Today, he is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Simplifyed.com which is the nation’s largest website for simple financial planning. Dezmon is the youngest person to be nominated and serve on The Ohio Department of Education’s Entrepreneurial Advisory Board and The Ohio State University’s Upward Bound Program executive board. Dezmon speaks throughout the country in the areas of entrepreneurship, success, financial literacy, and was one of the youngest people in history to address members of Congress on issues of national financial literacy in 2008.”
I look forward to exploring the areas of creating a startup with you so that you can beat the competition and realize your dreams!
Congrats. Sounds like an exciting time for business. Love reading the blog and keep up the good work. Dezmon, you know of any good entrepreneurship meetups or seminars coming up in 2008 in LA? I’m heading to John Assaraf’s Mind, Marketing, and Millions http://www.OneCoach.com/mmm?s=rm but looking for more.
