Fast forward thirty years, and Anthony had built Tech Elevator, a company that placed 6,000 people in software development careers. This conversation explores his winding path to entrepreneurial success, from getting rejected by Formula One racing to the mentor who pushed him to take the leap. Prior to his current venture, Anthony was a two-time edtech entrepreneur with two successful exits: Tech Elevator (acquired by Stride) and The Software Guild (acquired by Wiley). Before that, he partnered with MIT at JumpStart to found a mentoring program that helped over 100 early-stage companies raise $45M in capital. Today, Anthony is the Co-founder and CEO of VITALS. VITALS is a personality-powered self-awareness platform that helps you make better decisions, build stronger relationships, and find work that actually fits. It starts with a deep assessment across six dimensions (Values, Interests, Temperament, Action Style, Learning Style, and Social Style) and translates what you learn into highly actionable guidance.
