Jordan Birnbaum invested in Qtopia Events Inc. in 2001. An expensive lease on Holywood Boulevard and other contributing issues led to Qtopia Events Inc. not being as successful as anticipated. Refusing to let go of his investment, Jordan Birnbaum moved operations to Los Angeles and took on managerial responsibility. Qtopia was re-launched as Vanguard under Jordan Birnbaum’s lead and after breaking even for a couple of years, started showing a healthy profit.
