Tony Peccatiello has done a few tours in the entrepreneurial trenches - founding Pyne (a mobile app that allows users to crowdsource their questions in a targeted way while discovering new ideas and staying connected with friends) and his current project - Parallel Markets (An easy solution for companies to authenticate and verify a user’s investor credentials that also allows investors to assert profile-level information and qualifications across platforms with a single click. Accredit once, invest everywhere.)

But in between founding his companies, he’s held roles as an investment analyst, director of portfolio services, and venture partner - all of which have helped him sharpen his entrepreneurial axe. 

We talk about what he looked for in 'investable companies' as a venture capitalist, how his role as an investment analyst let him to entrepreneurship, as well as how he's founded and grown Parallel Markets. 

And let me tell you a secret... I really enjoyed spending this hour with Tony. He shares my multi-year quest of an adequate pull-up bar and, frankly, I'd love to have a beer or a coffee with him.

Please enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Tony Peccatiello of Parallel Markets!
