Nikita Kopotun is the Co-founder and President of Juniper which provides custom merchandising solutions for the world’s largest online creators. Nikita started Juniper in 2016 and bootstrapped the company to over $150M+ in revenue. In this episode, Nikita opens up about his journey from being an engineering student at Queen's, his experience with Cansbridge Fellowship living and working in China which changed his whole worldview and perspective on what to do after school, building companies and failing, and the trials and triumphs of launching Juniper. He also offers some great advice to students and entrepreneurs about not waiting for the perfect moment and the importance of learning by doing. I'm lucky to have caught Nikita fresh off travelling the world for the last year and a half, so listen in on his takeaways from this experience and life lessons that have enriched his personal and professional life.
