3 minutes with Eric Edelstein on his entrepreneurial journey thus far

South Africa’s popular flash sales site Daddy’s Deals CEO and all-round serial entrepreneur Eric Edelstein last month at Creative Spark‘s Thought Leader Fridays took us through his journey as a tech and business junkie.

Edelstein has a massive wrap sheet in the startup world. As both an angel investor and keen founder, he’s behind the popular, Clicks2Customers, together with Gyft founder Vinny Lingham and also the network-for-entrepreneurs, Silicon Cape, among many other successful organisations.

Some other major companies Edelstein backed as a early-stage investor include Springleap and Quirk.

Apart from running Daddy’s Deals, Edelstein spends his time dabbling with Bitcoin, chairing Entrepreneur Traction and some other exciting side projects which we’re not at liberty to share with you.

In the session, the serial entrepreneur chatted about his exciting ventures abroad, while also reflecting on some of the dark days when the dot-com bubble burst and his company went bust.
