Nachshon & Mort Fertel
Manage episode 297661375 series 2864733
Nachshon grew up as a geek in a home of 7 where
mom was always behind on laundry. A sensitive kid, he hated seeing
mom stressed. But like most teenagers, he also hated sorting whites
from colors. Starting an UBER-for-laundry business seemed like a good way to get
out of the chore and help mom. So instead of folding pajamas he
started writing code. As part of his homeschooling curriculum he taught himself
JavaScript, CSS, and HTML, and how to make these languages work
together with 2 apps, servers, and a custom CRM. The technology was in development for two years. Nachshon was 17 years old when the app launched in Baltimore, Maryland in February 2017.
Nachshon now divides his time between SudShare and his religious
studies. Mort is a serial entrepreneur who started his first business at 18 years
old. He has a private equity portfolio that consists of SudShare, 2 other
businesses, and real estate holdings. Mort is also an author, creator of the first online relationship renewal
system (2004), and the subject of Back from the Brink, a documentary
written and directed by Toroes Thomas. Now a grandfather, success for Mort means making a difference.
