About Mario
My journey has been shaped by a commitment to creating businesses that not only succeed but also drive meaningful change.
Straight out of college, I built an enterprise mobility and IoT company that achieved a successful exit in just two years. While it was a financial win, I quickly realized that monetary ambition felt hollow without embedding purpose. I made a vow to myself: every venture I build will align with a greater mission.
This realization led me to the Dominican Republic, where I witnessed firsthand how poor water conditions were causing preventable deaths. I founded a water treatment company that saved over 1 million plastic bottles and provided clean drinking water access to underserved communities, donating thousands of systems across the country. After six years of impact and growth, I sold the company, knowing its mission would continue.I turned my focus to corporate philanthropy, building a SaaS platform that uses AI and technology to transform how companies engage in social good.
The platform doesn’t just facilitate giving—it reduces employee turnover by over 57% by helping teams connect with purpose. With $1 million raised in investments, the platform continues to redefine the role of corporations in driving social change.
Today, I’m an angel investor supporting purpose-driven startups and advising nonprofits on how to think like startups to scale their impact.I also serve as an ambassador to E2G Food, Relatable, and other ventures aligned with my mission to leave the world better than I found it.
I’ve had the privilege of working with industry leaders such as SAP, Kinetico, and Talent Source Solutions Corp., who trust me to bridge the gap between innovation and impact.
When I’m not mentoring founders or advising ventures, I’m a devoted husband and proud father to my 2-year-old son, Leo. His future, and the world we’re striving to protect, inspires me every day to push for meaningful change.
