Surkus draws on StartEngine mentorship to reach potential Robert Menendez
One thing entrepreneurs need from their mentors is access to important connections.
Robert Menendez is a Co-Founder of crowdcasting app Surkus, a participating company in equity crowdfunding platform StartEngine.
Mr. Menendez said he had known his partner Forest Zukerman for a while when they met for dinner in Manhattan a couple of years ago. Mr. Zukerman had this idea to employ mobile technology to help bars, restaurants, and other socially oriented businesses attract the type of clientele most likely to enjoy that particular venue.
“While it was in the rough stages, no one was doing it,” Mr. Menendez said.

US billionaire Carl Icahn, the chairman of Icahn Enterprises and the CEO of Icahn Capital, believes that cryptocurrencies are here to stay.

Although he has a positive outlook on the crypto industry, Icahn noted that most of the cryptocurrencies available in the market today will not survive the test of time.
