Sometimes for a small fish to survive you have to swim with the Shark's. No one knows this better than Alashe Nelson. Al Nelson grew up in a neighborhood in Southwest Miami where he attended Southridge Highschool. He then began to venture into the world of entertainment. While managing an artist that eventually signed a recording deal with Cool N Dre he had an amazing idea, "What if I could reserve my night on the town in the hottest clubs in Miami before ever stepping foot out of the house?". Al had struck entrepreneurial gold. Not long after EZ VIP was born. EZ VIP is a web based business that allows you to pay for and reserve VIP tables as well as bottle service at a locked in rate at some of the most happening nightclubs in the country. He then set to work, with due diligence he began to grow his venture to net him a substantial sum of money in his first few years in business all before appearing on ABC's Shark Tank. This eventually led him to ink a deal with Mark Cuban, Daymond John, and later Miami's own Pitbull to serve as figurehead. Beginning in nightlife and eventually expanding into other notable experiences such as the ESPY's, they have since moved into markets in Las Vegas, New York, and Los Angeles along with making strategic partnerships with companies such as IC Places a multimedia entertainment company.
