ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Mikey Savino, a Chicago native with 15 years of experience in finance, accounting, and operations. I was the first employee and an early operator at M1 Finance, a successful venture-backed fintech in Chicago, where I spent 8 years helping build the business from the ground up. Along the way, I got to touch every aspect of growth—fundraising, finance, operations, legal, product, sales, and customer service.
​
As a proud University of Wisconsin–Madison graduate, I’m passionate about helping others unlock their potential. I believe that many people have what it takes to be entrepreneurs—they just need a bit of support and encouragement to see it for themselves. With corporate opportunities shrinking, entrepreneurship is becoming more essential than ever, and I’m committed to leveling the playing field by creating opportunities where talent and intelligence can truly shine.

IT'S NOT JUST ME
We have a dedicated team of internal and external accountants, operators, marketers, and engineers working behind the scenes to address the unique needs of each company.
