Ian Magely is an Entrepreneur/Business Owner that grew up in a small family business (started in 1984). Ian helped out with the family business while he could but played lots of sports. He then went on to play baseball in college and graduated with a BS in Marketing. 

Ian joined the family business “by accident” and by doing so helped grow a $340k/yr business to over $650 in about 2.5 years. He then decided to open up a retail location which was hell until…he had an “aha” moment. From there the company went from $400k to $1.1 Million and franchised to ten locations. 

Ian's family decided it was time to sell the business and he started another company called EastMain Business Group. EastMain is committed to providing digital marketing services THAT WORK. Ian believes small business owners should only pay for results, for ROI, therefore he started a business to do just that.   

EastMain is dedicated to provide consistent, user-friendly, business websites and marketing solutions that eliminate the frustrations that lead customers to your competitors. Ian started with only one customer and now has transformed into a full-service digital marketing agency.

Electra Japonas is the founder and CEO of The Law Boutique⚡, a challenger law firm that is bringing law into the 21st century.   

Electra started The Law Boutique in 2017 having spent over ten years in various large organisations in commercial legal and data protection roles, including the European Space Agency, Disney, BAT and EY.  

She realised there was a gap in the market for a legal company that took a more holistic approach to legal support, beyond just the law. The penny dropped when in her last role, she spent four months negotiating a multi-million pound IT agreement with the support of a traditional law firm, only to come out of the negotiation and have to re-draft the whole agreement when the business stakeholders were finding it challenging to interpret how the agreement applied to them. She spent another few months translating the agreement into plain English, introducing visual guides to explain how the various teams need to operate to reach the right outcomes and building tech tools to streamline the contract management process.   

Electra decided that there must be a better way to deliver legal support to businesses and decided to start a business to do just that.
