The benefit of meeting right people who can influence
and assist your career growth has always being an uncompromised advice of
successful people around the world. If you are a lover of reading biography like
me, you would have read about this in many occasions.
Many people remain where they are because they lack
opportunity and resources to me the right people who can be of help to make their
dream come true. The truth is that, every investment towards meeting successful
person that could give you advice, network and assistance one way or another
will be profitable and that is what Gigameet is making easier for you.
Recently, I added a column on my online magazine www.empowermite.com titled “Role Models”,
sharing biography of successful people around the world as a real life story to
motivate and inspire my readers. Telling them that, they have what it takes to become successful as indicated in many of biography
we will be sharing. After featuring Aliko Dangote (GCON) and Dr. Strive
Masiwiya as found on www.wikipedia.com,
I decided to look back to youths doing great things, and the name Chinedu
Echeruo is one among numerous one that first occur to me. You remember that guy
that sold his app to Apple as read in the news. Yes! He is the one.
Before now, just like you, I think that is just what I
knew about him. But a little research in other to share his biography with my
readers at Empowermite, I came across a lot more about this Techprenuer that fascinate
me including Gigameet which I decided to share with you even before sharing his
biography. That is how excited I am about the Gigameet concept. But before
talking more about Gigameet, let me share brief biography of Chinedu Echeruo as
found on his Gigameet page.
“Chinedu
U Echeruo is the Founder and CEO of Gigameet.com, a cause-driven platform that
facilitates human connections globally. Prior to starting Gigameet, Mr. Echeruo
founded two U.S-based internet companies; HopStop.com and Tripology.com.
Tripology.com was acquired in 2010 by Rand McNally and is now owned by USA
Today. HopStop was acquired by Apple in 2013. He was also named Black
Enterprise Magazine's Small Business Innovator of the Year and listed in the
magazine's Top 40 under 40. Before his entrepreneurial career, Mr. Echeruo was
with AM Investment Partners, a USD $500 million volatility-driven convertible
bond arbitrage hedge fund. Prior to completing his M.B.A., he spent several
years in the Mergers and Acquisitions and Leveraged Finance groups of J.P
Morgan Chase where he was involved in a broad range of M&A, financing and
private equity transactions. He holds an M.B.A. from the Harvard Business
School and B.S in Finance and Accounting (Honors) from Syracuse University.”
Gigameet is a
platform that facilitates meeting people you have been dreaming about globally
for a little fee either in person or video conference for an hour. Percentage of
the fee paid will be given to charity of your choice.
Either in
person or via video conferencing, you have the choice on one on one or joining
a group which might reduce the fee you will pay. But if you seek my advice on
this, I will prefer one on one. It’s an investment that will yield multiple
rewards if you well utilize it.
You should know
that, this is not personal social meet up but mainly career/business meeting.
Among the primary reasons for the meeting as allowed on the platform are;
·
Career questions
·
Job
opportunities
·
Expert advice
·
Investment
opportunity
·
Share
experience
·
Discuss
product/service
·
Discus doing
business together
You also have
the opportunity to write elaborate note on the option you choose; up to 500
characters.
It’s also a
platform that makes it easier for you to invite people to your next business
events.
Don’t forget to
set up and provide adequate information on your profile as someone somewhere
also looking forward to meet you too.
I realize that Gigameet is not a popular as most social media we have around, as a result of that, your desire mentor and potential partner may not be on the platform. Don't worry you can easily invite them via any of the popular social media like facebook, linkedin, twitter, pintrest and email.

My view goes
beyond just meeting someone just for a business chat, questions or advice. I am
beginning to set up my board of advisers now that I have easy way to reach
them. When next I need advice to take major step forwards towards new horizon,
I knew where to head to. What about you?
Meanwhile don't forget to read the terms and condition of the platform.
