Shortly after earning his MBA in entrepreneurial finance from San Diego State University in 2001, Erik Gantz co-founded 1-800-LAS VEGAS, a travel management company dedicated to the city of Las Vegas.
While Gantz was the chief executive officer of 1-800-LAS-VEGAS, the company recruited “Mr. Las Vegas,” Wayne Newton, as its celebrity spokesperson and went public in 2006.
The company later changed its name to VegasNow.com.
In 2007, Gantz formed Seed Capital with partner Kevin Alan Tussy.
Seed Capital specializes in assisting entrepreneurs and small companies with raising start-up and expansion capital. In 2009, in the midst of the most devastating credit crisis since the Great Depression, Seed Capital raised more than $40 million in financing for its clients, in the process helping hundreds of new businesses and products become a reality.
