Mark Lazare

Marco is an ambitious ,hard working, honest man whom I enjoy dealing with.

Andrew Greig

I first met Marco in 2004 when we launched the first of several IPO's. Marco continues to impress me with his constant drive and dedication to improve his financial skillset. He is not your run of the mill financial advisor, but a financially savvy marketing machine/venture capitalist/entrepreneur that is always working on developing new and interesting investment ideas, new ventures, new concepts, with a surprisingly large and diverse array of contacts.
