A Letter from Sam

Building a founder-led, mission-driven company. I don't like private equity.

I grew up around computers, but technology wasn't my first passion.

When I was younger, I wanted to be an architect, but I couldn't draw well enough to bring my ideas to life. Then I discovered 3D modeling. With a cracked copy of Rhino and a lot of curiosity, I could finally create what I imagined, and when I wasn't designing models, I was building entire worlds in Minecraft. As my projects outgrew my computer, I built a new computer myself from recycled parts, which sparked a deeper interest in how computers worked and eventually led me into robotics, physics, and programming.

What fascinated me wasn't technology alone; it was how technology connected me to other fields. I've always been drawn to new industries and ideas. By sixteen, I had convinced a university research group in Italy to let me help build AI models for liver cancer prognosis research, which led to two published papers.

I've never been motivated primarily by money. I like building things, solving problems, and being useful.

That's why my first entrepreneurial project was SymChat, a free mobile app that allowed people with communication impairments to send messages. It reached #1 in the App Store and led to opportunities to work with Italy's Minister for Disabilities and partner with Apple.

Then I made the jump.

I flew to Dallas to help clinics implement AI solutions. Being the optimist I am, I assumed my savings would last until I signed my first customer. They didn't. After deciding not to take my flight home, I spent some time sleeping in a garage in South Dallas alongside a homeless man. Oddly enough, it remains one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

Thankfully, things worked out. I landed customers and raised capital.

That was also my first real encounter with MSPs. I remember thinking: these people get paid to learn how businesses work and help them succeed through technology? If that's a real job, I want in. So I attended conferences, shadowed MSP operators, and immersed myself in the industry. I loved it.

The deeper I went, the more convinced I became that there is an opportunity to build something significant in the MSP space by leveraging AI to better serve customers. I believe AI creates the possibility, for the first time, for an MSP focused on SMBs to scale into a publicly traded company.

I'm building a founder-led, mission-driven company. I'm a technology-focused entrepreneur, and my goal is to acquire an MSP and transform it into an MSP 3.0: a long-lasting, fully integrated organization that can go public within the next seven years.

I'm looking for someone who is ready to pass the baton and whose business can become the founding platform for that journey.

I'm deeply mission-driven, and I'm looking for MSPs that share that mindset.

P.S. I'm a founder, and I love founders. My goal is to honor what founders have built, invest in it, and create something enduring. I don't like private equity.
