The nine-figure business you never heard of
About this video
The guest Chris recounts how attending Logan Paul’s record-breaking Pokémon box purchase inspired him to throw a $150,000 Pokémon party in Vegas. This led to a chance meeting with a convention organizer, whom Chris invested $600,000 in, eventually building the venture into a multi-show operation with 700,000 attendees that achieved a nine-figure exit.
Key takeaways
- Chris’s willingness to invest in something he became passionate about—despite initially losing money on his Vegas party—created the opportunity to back the convention founder
- The convention founder’s 20 years of industry experience combined with deep Pokémon collector expertise proved to be a winning skill set for scaling the business
- The business grew from a single small hotel event to 20 shows across 4 years, demonstrating how a niche passion market can scale rapidly with proper execution
