“I only want to work on things that I am interested in, with people that I want to spend time with. Really cool things with really cool people.” - Nik Hulewsky Share on X “As a parent, your job is to not spoon feed them the information. Your job is to teach them how to think critically so they can make the right choices when you're not around.” - Nik Hulewsky Share on X “You will find more time in your life when you identify the things that are most important to you and make them the priority. Somehow everything else falls into place.” - Nik Hulewsky Share on X

Nik Hulewsky Bio

I’m a husband, father, entrepreneur, investor and creator. I’m the CoFounder of CoFounder.com where we team up with other entrepreneurial minded people and turn ideas into reality. I also love problem solving, helping people and having fun. My experience is broad; from working as an Executive in Home Health and Hospice to owning and operating companies across multiple industries, including healthcare, e-commerce, and crypto. I’ve had multiple 7-figure exits — and, in the spirit of full transparency, an equal number of 7-figure lessons learned (losses). I have an undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California in Economics, an MBA from UCLA and have been married for almost 16 years, with 4 boys at home ages 10, 7, 4 and 2.
