1eat has become my main focus. It is an eating club for students, which offers discounts at over 270 restaurants in central London, and I am hoping to expand the business to New York in the near future. The business model is competitive and fast paced, and consequently I am learning a lot. Along with achieving growth, I hope to build 1eat as a brand, with emphasis on healthy eating, and fine dining, amongst other things.

Right now, I am running 1eat, as well as Arturvoyage, a travel organization for students in top universities that combines adventure with charity work. I have also organized International Studies, the largest conference in Poland for higher education in the UK and Switzerland. For two years, before 1eat, I worked on a website that allowed people to place restaurant orders online. However, it was difficult to market the website, and I wanted to create a product that would market itself. The 1eat Student Discount Card does just that. It is easy to carry and people get value for their money.

I think one of my biggest successes is that I was born! But seriously…I am happy to have travelled to forty-two countries at twenty years of age. I love running LSE Entrepreneurs, and coordinating the International Studies conference in Poland. Though I’m young, I have gotten involved with a business that is constantly evolving. This way, I am exposed to meeting very interesting people and successful networking will help me achieve my goals. I am especially happy to have met Maria Olenina and Jochen Hermanns (we run Artur voyage together). My biggest failures are missed opportunities, but since they are already long gone, I cannot possibly know what I have missed out on. So far, I have learnt that there is still a lot more to learn!

a) Next week, I want to find the right people who would be capable of expanding 1eat to New York. I also want to meet a dozen interesting people, and at least one who I will stay in touch with in the long term. I will also be attending the Kairos conference.

b) Next year, I want to make my first million.

c) In ten years, I would like to start a family. I would also like my actions to have a positive effect in the world, while ensuring a comfortable life for myself. One goal is to foster accessible higher education. It is through excellent higher education that individuals will be able to launch successful career paths.

The Istanbul Inspirations career trip, organized by the LSE Entrepreneurs Society (many thanks go to Cemal Büyükgökçesu).  This new cultural exposure has blown away any preconceptions I had. The people are fantastic and there are also many great entrepreneurial opportunities in Turkey.

Sandboxers could definitely help expand 1eat to the US. A Sandboxer may want to take on the venture in New York, or else may know a person who does. Sandbox equals knowing great people who can help me take my business ideas global. In business, everything works both ways. Being referred to the right people is invaluable! Also, I am always keen to provide an outside perspective on another’s ideas. I want all the people I know to be as successful as possible, because through ideas and feedback, we can provide the support that other entrepreneurs need.
