EzVip: A Night Club Game Changer About to Take Over

http://www.icplaces.com/los-angeles/ezvip-night-club-game-changer-about-take-over

From a grassroots business based in Miami Beach, FL, to a worldwide brand on its way to change the business of nightlife, EzVip is a name you will start seeing across the globe in every high-end nightclub. If the name Alashe “Al” Nelson, the founder and CEO of EzVip, sounds familiar to you, it’s most likely because you saw him pitch his business on the season 3 premier of ABC’s Shark Tank.
As a previous music producer that developed an idea to change the way nightlife operates, Al has built a business about 2 years ago that does for nightclubs what Ticketmaster does for concerts. “EzVip is a platform where people can go to pre-purchase VIP for their night out,” Al said.
In the beginning, based in Miami Beach, Al partnered with a few local venues to test the idea. Responding very positively from the public, Al’s business began to grow from the ground up. He recently signed up for SharkTank when he was ready to take his company to a national level, but lacked the necessary funds to expand in a viral way.
Catching 4 of the Shark’s attention, Al agreed to partner with Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban, and FUBU founder, Daymond John who invested $150,000 into EzVip, with 30% ownership and A-list celebrity, Pitbull, to back it up. Since the deals were closed, Cuban and Daymond are actively 100% co-owners, interacting with Al on a daily basis. The company has expanded to cities such as: Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami, New York City, Chicago, Atlanta and international cities such as Dubai. It’s safe to say that the Shark’s did exactly what Al needed them to do.
