What made you start Massimino? 
Curiosity and intuition.I started my first business, MassTech, selling and repairing cell phones at the age of 12. However, as a result of poor credit management, I went into bankruptcy at the age of 21. Thereafter, I landed a commission-based sales job with a credit repair agency. While working at the company, I gained the knowledge, experience and started saving to start my own financial company. 

In 2018, I started The Credit Connection, a loan readiness company that aims at assisting consumers turn loan denials into approvals while helping business owners leverage business credit and get access to financing. In 2022, I found Massimino Ventures, a global private equity venture capital firm, which is based in Pittsburgh. This is how, Masssimino was found, with my experience and leadership quality, positive focus and most importantly my team which always helps and walks along with me in the track has taken me to the position, where I am now.
