Interview with a... Rockstar | Jonathan Pfahl | Rockstar Group CEO | True-life Entrepreneurs
"80% of people who work for someone else, hate what they do."
'Interview with a Rockstar' introduces entrepreneur, CEO and founder of Rockstar Group, Jonathan Pfahl. In his day to day role, the Aussie born entrepreneur operates a seed fund, crowdfunding platform, mentoring group and startup accelerator as well as having a broad range of private equity investments and interests. There are few better versed in identifying a successful opportunity right now than Jonathan and his black book of industry contacts.
Born in Australia and emigrating to the UK, Jonathan began his first venture at the age of 9. He studied down under before working in investment banking at Goldman Sachs. After a number of years in Hong Kong also, the allure of working for himself and the advice his father and role model gave him:
"You will never get rich working for someone else" led him into establishing Rockstar Group.
Today Jonathan is a regular public speaker at startup events at locations such as the Great British Business show as well as helping startups scale. If you want to find out more about Rockstar Group, and are keen to find out more about their mentoring or crowdfunding, visit their site: www.rockstargroup.co.uk
I ask Jonathan what it takes to be an entrepreneur, what was his best failure and how to identify the right business idea.
