Nick Fellers Mentor 2010

Describe yourself briefly.

Nick Fellers is an entrepreneur and technology wiz who started his first business from his college dorm room. As a student at the University of Notre Dame, he created a first-of-its kind online student community for members to share course feedback and class ratings, and to learn about campus events, books and discussions. Soon, other major universities came knocking, requesting similar portals for their schools. After building a successful enterprise as college students, Nick and his business partners eventually sold their tool to a dot com to allow time to focus on their interests in the nonprofit world. “My experience taught me the amazing power of scaled impact – what can happen when you share your system with an enormous number of people and the impact it can have on their lives,” Fellers explains. “I decided to take my expertise in technology and use it to somehow impact nonprofits, to really make a change in the world.” Nick enjoys life as a practitioner, coach and trainer. He has trained hundreds of organizations and regularly contributes to ForImpact.org. He began working with Tom Suddes and now serves as President of The Suddes Group.
