Critical Mass Business Talk Show: Ric Franzi Interviews Stephan Erkelens, Co-Founder & CEO of RevHubOC (Episode 1514)

Stephan Erkelens leads RevHubOC as President, CEO, and co-founder, drawing on over 40 years of experience in launching and expanding businesses, social enterprises, and nonprofits. His journey began from a desire to infuse purpose into business practices within a predominantly capitalist landscape. Stephan envisioned creating sustainable revenue streams for social impact organizations, transforming them from traditional nonprofits. In the US, he recognized a gap between social innovators solving global challenges and entrepreneurs mastering scalable business models.

Stephan's expertise spans launching and scaling diverse ventures across industries, backed by deep insights in investment, finance, and banking. He has a track record of driving mergers and strategic partnerships, leveraging his cross-cultural fluency and global influence. Stephan's background includes extensive involvement in nonprofit management and large-scale fundraising, complemented by board roles spanning Central America, South America, and the US.

With a focus on philanthro-capitalism, Stephan has pioneered initiatives merging for-profit ventures to bolster nonprofit sustainability. Since founding RevHub in 2019, he has dedicated himself to addressing critical industry challenges in Orange County through innovative programs and enterprises.
