Islam Elfiky has built his professional life around athletics, healthcare technology, and hospitality. Based in New York, he is an entrepreneur and business developer who serves as Co-Founder and Head of Business Development at MedsNow. His career reflects a steady focus on creating useful businesses, shaped by years of squash competition and a family background connected to healthcare in Egypt.

He grew up in Cairo, where squash became an important part of his early life. As a junior, he was selected for the Egyptian National Team during a time when it held the world’s top ranking. He later reached a personal world men’s ranking of 165th. After studying at the American University in Cairo, he moved to the United States to continue his education and athletic career at The George Washington University.

At George Washington, he played at the No. 1 position on the men’s squash team for two seasons. His 2011-12 season included 21 wins and three losses, with 19 victories coming in straight sets. He finished the season with a 15-match winning streak, earned the team’s Most Valuable Player award, and was named Male Athlete of the Year at the first Georgey Awards. He also ended the year ranked 31st nationally.

The prior season showed the same consistency. In 2010-11, he played every match at No. 1 and finished with 18 wins and two losses. Every win came in straight sets, and he ended the season ranked 34th in the College Squash Association. Those two top-35 national finishes made him one of the notable players in the program’s history. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics in 2014.

Islam Elfiky first moved into business through squash. From 2014 to 2016, he co-founded Squash on Fire, a Washington, D.C., project created to offer a high-end squash facility with public access instead of private membership. The facility opened in 2017 and gave him direct experience developing a business from concept to operation.

Since 2020, his main work has been MedsNow, which he co-founded with Nikhil Misra. The company helps independent pharmacies use digital tools for online sales, compliance, patient onboarding, invoicing, payment collection, and receivables management. MedsNow was selected for XRC Labs’ Cohort 14, appeared at XRC Ventures’ 2023 Demo Day, and received support from the XRC Ventures Accelerator Program and Reshape Ventures.

He has also expanded into hospitality through Yalla Hospitality, where he is developing a venture tied to restaurants and guest experience. This work reflects his interest in service-based businesses and his ability to apply business development experience in different industries.

Islam Elfiky remains connected to Egypt through his family’s hospital business, which is known for social work and community care. His volunteering and charitable efforts are also centered there. Across sports, pharmacy technology, hospitality, and community service, he continues to build with patience, discipline, and long-term focus.

Over the course of his career, Craig Bonn has dedicated more than thirty years to developing strategies that help investors participate in opportunities outside of traditional markets. He focuses on alternative investments, private equity, and pre-IPO companies. Today, he is the Managing Partner of Harley Capital LLC, an independent broker-dealer, and the Managing Member of Edge Partners LLC, which organizes Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) for accredited investors seeking access to late-stage private companies. His professional record includes exposure to various industries—technology, healthcare, energy, and consumer markets—and early involvement in companies such as Facebook, Databricks, and Anthropic.

Craig’s path began in New York, where he was born and raised, before pursuing his undergraduate education at the University of Hartford. Soon after completing his degree, he joined Lehman Brothers. Working at the firm placed him amid global financial activity, where he learned to evaluate risk, manage portfolios, and advise clients across diverse situations. While the environment was demanding and competitive, it also revealed to him the limitations of conventional financial instruments. He observed that not every client’s long-term goals could be met through traditional markets alone, which inspired him to look more closely at alternatives.

Guided by this insight, Craig established Harley Capital LLC. He aimed to create an independent, transparent, and long-term client service firm. Harley Capital grew into a boutique investment company, serving high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and trusts. Clients of Harley Capital benefit from carefully selected opportunities in areas such as private equity and pre-IPO investments, which are often beyond the reach of conventional investors. The firm emphasizes diversification, clear communication, and fiduciary responsibility as central to its mission.

Craig further extended his professional focus through Edge Partners LLC. At Edge Partners, he applies the SPV model to give accredited investors structured participation in pre-IPO and late-stage venture opportunities. Organized under a Delaware Series LLC, the firm is efficient and flexible while maintaining thorough due diligence. Edge Partners has prioritized investments in fields such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, robotics, and software, which are industries positioned for long-term growth. He oversees acquiring securities in private companies and holding them until liquidity events such as acquisitions or public offerings occur.

His approach to investing emphasizes three pillars: disciplined risk management, appropriate timing, and a long-term vision. Craig believes that successful outcomes require choosing companies with potential and structuring the investments to safeguard participants. His preference for SPVs reflects this philosophy, providing both access to growth and a framework that manages risk.

Beyond pre-IPO markets, Craig has been active in natural gas mineral funds, venture partnerships, hospitality REITs, and specialized financing. His involvement includes WhiteHawk Energy and investments in Outstanding Foods, Braemar Hotels and Resorts, Prospect Capital, and Urica Therapeutics. Each reflects his practice of assessing industries, market conditions, and company fundamentals before committing capital.

Craig has remained committed to philanthropy and community involvement outside his professional roles. He supports organizations such as Pink Aid and Fred’s Team, which fund cancer research and health initiatives. His contributions include both financial support and participation in awareness-building events.

Craig has lived with his wife in Westport, Connecticut, for over 25 years. He is a runner who has completed five marathons, including the New York Marathon. He also enjoys traveling and gaining perspective by engaging with different cultures and economies.

Balancing his career achievements with philanthropy and personal pursuits, Craig Bonn continues to follow a path that reflects dedication, long-term vision, and community engagement.

Jason Nissen is a specialist in ticket brokerage and hospitality marketplaces, with a career spanning nearly three decades. During this time, he has managed large-scale ticket sales, designed hospitality packages, and organized events, including Broadway productions, music festivals, and global sporting competitions. His career reflects a consistent ability to handle complex operations, ensuring audiences and clients experience well-executed, memorable events.

Jason’s professional path has been shaped by two key strengths: mathematics and people skills. His mathematical background enables him to evaluate logistics, financial structures, and strategies with precision and accuracy. Alongside this, his talent for communication and relationship building allows him to work effectively with clients, partners, and colleagues. This combination of technical expertise and interpersonal skills has guided his career in industries where both accuracy and collaboration are crucial.

Through these qualities, Nissen has been able to anticipate challenges, remain adaptable, and deliver consistent results. Whether overseeing a festival, a concert, or an international sporting event, he has consistently demonstrated the ability to translate detailed requirements into smooth and well-coordinated outcomes.

Jason Nissen began developing this foundation at Hamilton College, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1994. While at Hamilton, he also played as a wide receiver on the football team and served as social chair of his fraternity. These experiences provided him with opportunities to develop leadership, communication, and teamwork skills that would become valuable in his future career in the ticket brokerage and hospitality industries.

For more than 28 years, Jason has served as an officer at The Ultimate Fan. In this role, he has helped the company grow into a respected provider of tickets and hospitality services. The company has delivered access to some of the world’s most prestigious events, including the Super Bowl, the Final Four, Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Olympics. By combining logistical detail with personalized service, Jason has enabled The Ultimate Fan to serve a wide range of clients, from individual fans to Fortune 500 corporations.

Nissen also extended his career into event creation. From 2015 to 2017, he was CEO of Minus Zero Music Festival, an Electronic Dance Music festival held in Stratton, Vermont. The festival combined EDM performances with skiing and snowboarding, offering attendees a distinctive form of entertainment. Jason managed every aspect of the event, from ticketing and merchandise to stage construction and safety protocols. His leadership demonstrated his ability to turn creative ideas into organized, successful events.

Jason Nissen’s philosophy blends long-term vision with direct involvement. He often credits communication, collaboration, and relationship building as key factors in his professional success. From securing his first clients through college connections to maintaining long-term partnerships with corporate groups and sports organizations, Jason has consistently focused on building meaningful, lasting relationships.

Over the years, Jason has also faced challenges, including regulatory requirements in ticket sales and balancing profitability with sustainable practices. For the 2024 Minus Zero Music Festival reboot, he introduced eco-friendly initiatives, reflecting his commitment to responsible business practices and ensuring high-quality audience experiences.

For Jason, professional fulfillment comes from both measurable results and from seeing ambitious projects succeed. He finds inspiration in figures such as Phil Knight and Anthony Bourdain, appreciating their persistence, creativity, and ability to bring their vision to life. He also relies on straightforward tools, such as a whiteboard, to guide collaborative and practical planning.

Looking ahead, Jason Nissen continues to focus on improving and reimagining live event experiences. With the rebranding and relaunch of Minus Zero Music Festival, he plans to combine lessons learned from past experiences with innovative approaches to drive growth. His nearly 30 years in ticket brokerage, hospitality, and event management highlight a career built on careful planning, strong connections, and a dedication to creating events that audiences will always remember.
