In this episode of Chasing the Insights, I talk to serial entrepreneur Jeremy Delk.
Jeremy talks to us about finding your “why”.
Jeremy Delk is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and author known for his ability to disrupt industries and drive innovation. With over two decades of experience, his ventures have generated hundreds of millions in revenue and created numerous high-paying jobs across various sectors, including biotechnology, healthcare, consumer brands, technology, and real estate. As the founder and CEO of Delk Enterprises, he has built a diversified portfolio that continues to make a significant impact.
Born and raised in Bardstown, Kentucky, Jeremy grew up in a blue-collar household. Despite his small-town roots, he always had big ambitions. At just 17, he began day trading, quickly earning tens of thousands of dollars daily. However, by the time he was 19, he suffered a massive financial loss, losing nearly $2 million in four days. This early setback became a defining moment in his journey, teaching him resilience, adaptability, and the importance of learning from failure.
Determined to succeed, Jeremy joined Fidelity Investments, becoming one of the firm’s youngest institutional equity traders in Boston and New York. But the corporate world couldn’t contain his entrepreneurial spirit. He soon left to establish Delk Enterprises, a venture capital firm that has since played a pivotal role in launching and scaling multiple successful businesses.
