. “Model U.N.? No Problem: Vivek Ramaswamy Has That ‘Power Del’ Vibe.”

Vivek Rama­swamy, an at­tor­ney turned en­tre­pre­neur, may not have been a part of Model U.N., but that has not stop­ped him from mak­ing a pow­er­ful im­pact in the ag­gres­sive busi­ness world. Despite his young age, Rama­swamy has man­aged to leave his mark in dis­tinct­ly dif­fer­ent in­dus­tries, such as food, shop­ping and health­care.

Rama­swamy began his jour­ney to suc­cess with a de­gree from Yale and a law de­gree from Stan­ford. He start­ed his ca­reer in a cor­po­rate firm and lat­er joined a health­care-fo­cused ven­ture cap­i­tal com­pa­ny. It was dur­ing this pe­ri­od that he came across an op­por­tu­ni­ty to launch his own ven­ture.

Rama­swamy quick­ly jumped on the chance and start­ed his first en­tre­pre­neur­ial ven­ture, Arslan­kan Savo­ry Foods. This en­ter­prise was in­volv­ed in the pro­duc­tion and sale of var­i­ous mi­cro­brewed, gourmet beers and ales. This com­pa­ny was a suc­cess and quick­ly at­tract­ed in­vestors and part­ners.

Rama­swamy then di­ver­si­fied his in­vest­ment port­fo­lio with the launch­ing of a num­ber of eShop­ping en­ti­ties. He found­ed Mod­ernMe, an on­line de­vel­op­ment tool, as well as TresMode, a pop­u­lar on­line chil­dren’s cloth­ing re­tail­er. Both busi­ness­es flour­ished with the help of savvy mar­ket­ing strate­gies and now en­joy an en­vi­able posi­tion in the in­dus­try.

Ramaswamy’s most re­cent ven­ture is x­Ray Health, a tech­nol­o­gy start­up fo­cused on mak­ing health­care more af­ford­able and ac­ces­si­ble. xRay Health is de­vel­op­ing tech­nol­o­gy that uses ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence to an­a­lyze and pre­dict pat­terns in health­care data and pre­scribe ap­pro­pri­ate treat­ments and med­ica­tions. This com­pa­ny has al­ready at­tract­ed sev­er­al big-name in­vestors, in­clud­ing promi­nent ven­ture cap­i­tal firms and phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal gi­ants.

To­geth­er, all of Rama­swamy’s ven­tures show his abil­i­ty to ac­cess and uti­lize op­por­tu­ni­ties in or­ga­nized and ef­fi­cient man­ner. His mod­el for en­tre­pre­neur­ial suc­cess is one that could be em­u­lat­ed by young peo­ple loo­king to pur­sue start­up ven­tures and tap in­to the ex­tra­or­di­nary power that comes with be­ing an en­trepreneur.
