Award-Winning Business Founder Announces New Commerce Platform

August 16, 2016 – – Dr. Nicolas Porter, award-winning founder of Risas Dental and Braces and President of Nicolas Global, has announced that he will be launching a new venture next month.

The new business, formed under the Nicolas Global brand, will aim to disrupt the commerce industry by utilizing many of the ideas and principles Dr. Porter used to establish and grow Risas Dental and Braces.

Risas grew quickly after Dr. Porter established its first office in 2012, expanding to fifteen locations in Arizona and Colorado in four years. Catering to an underserved Hispanic market, the practice emphasizes a focus on “speaking patient” and has challenged many long-held practices of the dental industry.

In turn, Risas has been honored with both financial success and critical recogniton.

Dr. Porter was named one of Phoenix Business Journal’s Most Admired Leaders of 2015. In addition, Risas has won an award for Entreprenurial Excellence (Phoenix Chamber Impact Awards 2014), the Hispanic Business Salute Award (Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce 2014), and was named one of the Best Places to Work (Phoenix Business Journal 2014), one of the Top 10 Fastest growing Private Companies in Arizona (ACE Awards 2014), and Business of the Year (Phoenix Chamber Impact Awards 2014). Dr. Porter was also honored as a Healthcare Hero in 2014 by the Phoenix Business Journal.

Dr. Porter recently left his role in day-to-day operations with Risas in order to expand his influence. His plan is to utilize his experience and insights to disrupt other industries, starting with commerce.

“I’m motivated by helping people,” says Dr. Porter. “I want to help as many people as I possibly can, and I think this new venture will be able to impact lives in a meaningful way. Business isn’t currently set up to help the average person. There are many areas in how we participate in commerce that need renovation and innovation, and I have been working tirelessly to make things better for that average person. When this company launches, I think you’ll see that difference show very quickly.”
