Immigrant Entrepreneur: Richard Mensah


Richard grew up in Ghana and started his very first startup at 18 years old. He never imagined that he would end up in the States but when he applied to attend a masters program, he got accepted with Hult International Business School.


Richard launched 3 different startups that didn't work out for various reasons, but that didn't stop him. He kept on pursuing his dream of entrepreneurship.


While studying on his masters program, he launched his 4th startup, EllisX. He's revolutionizing how marketing is working. EllisX is a platform for connections. This platform connects amazing startups with podcasters and event producers to get media coverage.


On this platform you won't see any ads, or anything flashing at you. Richard and his co-founder designed it so unique and with simplicity in mind. Right now, there are startups that are on the waitlist to get into EllisX. At 25 years old, Richard continues to innovate and disrupt the marketing field.
