What I Am

in #business9 years ago (edited)

I am uncomfortable being comfortable. This is my drive.

It began after I graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 2006 and took a semester off to search for my passion. An entrepreneurial opportunity came up and I grabbed it by the horns. At 19, I opened my first Multi-Carrier Retail location, and had no idea what I was getting into.

In the decade since, I’ve grown every single one of my business ventures year over year. My early success motivated me to start Intelligent Ventures LLC, which invests in New York-based startups and “Silicon Alley” businesses. My portfolio includes:

DevTribe - My latest venture, a technology, branding, marketing and business development disruptor, aims to transform how individuals monetize and grow their brands. We make business personal. www.devtribe.com

12 Verizon Wireless Paging Zone Retail Locations - $20M in annual revenue & consistent annual customer service excellence award winners (Store of Excellence Award)

1Kase - A premium cell phone tempered glass accessory brand from Brooklyn

Proper West and Manhattan Proper - Premium Sports Bars located in FiDi and Midtown in NYC https://www.properwest.com/ https://www.manhattanproper.com/

Little Choc Apothecary - Only Vegan Creperie in the nation located in Williamsburg Brooklyn https://www.littlechoc.nyc/

New Auto Group - Full Service Leasing Company in South Brooklyn
https://www.newautogroup.com/

Myrtle Avenue LLC - Our commercial property located in Brooklyn Heights

My secret is hiring based on character and hustle, not just skillsets. That’s how I consistently build, manage, and motivate high-performing teams to drive new business YoY. If you want to learn more about what I do or how I build businesses, catch the #MashkovMinute on Instagram.
