"Do remember that you always have the opportunity to make a kiddush Hashem"
Nachum Kligman, serial entrepreneur, author, podcaster, start-up business coach, and mentor to so many aspiring frum entrepreneurs (including me).
Nachum is currently the co-founder and CEO of Book Like a Boss, a platform used by 20,000 freelancers (in over 100 countries) to schedule appointments and generate sales. Previously, among other ventures, he was the founder of Mianzi Fashion, an apparel line for individuals with special needs, and Viewbix, a video analytics start-up that was recently acquired by Virtual Crypto. In addition, Nachum authored The Frum Entrepreneur: Turn Your Dreams into Reality (Mosaica Press, 2016), and has interviewed over 50 successful frum entrepreneurs on his “Frum Entrepreneur” podcast.
Nachum was born and raised in Passaic, New Jersey, and currently lives in Ramat Beit Shemesh with his wife and eight children.
For many years, I’ve been impressed by the way Nachum balances his high-level business endeavors with a serious learning schedule, quality family time, and chesed for the community. Also, there are some unique things about his life that you should know: He owned a restaurant in Meah Shearim called Gamzoos; he’s the inventor of “Cholent Chalavi,” which includes potatoes, beans, barley, fried onions, and mozzarella; he launched two successful online crowdfunding campaigns; he was on the very first Nefesh B’Nefesh flight to Israel shortly after 9/11 (he moved partially because of it); and his first son, born 9/11/2002, was the first Nefesh B’Nefesh baby born in Jerusalem. Most importantly, though, I’m sharing his story with you because he’s truly the quintessential frum entrepreneur.
