Biro Florin

As a passionate Angel Investor, Serial Entrepreneur, and now a Podcaster, I am wholeheartedly dedicated to the world of startups and founders. Having spent over a decade immersed in the startup ecosystem, I've journeyed through a spectrum of experiences - from numerous failed ventures to building a successful business, Jexo, that was recently acquired.

Reflecting on my journey, I see myself as a misfit - a founder who faced countless setbacks and bouts of self-doubt before finally finding my path. This 'misfit' identity, coupled with my deep-rooted passion for helping others, inspired me to establish Misfit Founders. This initiative is an authentic and supportive community designed to empower founders and ease the feelings of 'out-of-place' syndrome common among many entrepreneurs.

In our community, we have a podcast that facilitates open, genuine discussions about the struggles and successes of entrepreneurship. As a host, I have the privilege of contributing my insights alongside those of my guests. Each conversation is unscripted and real, focusing on raw experiences rather than polished narratives. 👉 https://mf.show

Further, Misfit Founders extends beyond the podcast, encapsulating a vibrant WhatsApp community. This free-to-join group serves as a haven for founders, a space where they can share ideas, seek advice, and find support in a network of like-minded individuals. 👉 https://nas.io/misfits

I invite you to become part of this supportive community, and together, let's change the narrative around failure and success in entrepreneurship.

Chief Product Officer

Bullseye Admissions

I advised the team on initial growth strategy and helped align them to scale across multiple channels. This lead to an early M&A deal and successful outcome.

I help companies grow with strategies that advance product adoption & revenue. 

Your customers are inundated with products and offers. How can you get in front of them & stand out?

I’m Craig Zingerline, six-time founder, top-rated speaker, leading mentor for founders, and author of the GrowthLed newsletter. 

I work with smart founders who value my deep product & marketing experience to enable them faster, more sustainable, holistic growth. I get to work by uncovering the gaps within the company that may be blocking potential growth, and quickly and thoroughly applying strategies and hands-on tactics to open up more product adoption and revenue.

I'm an award winning product strategist, 3-time LAUNCH Accelerator founder, and have a number of wins (and losses!) under my belt. 

In my spare time I hang out with my family, run, play drums, and constantly experiment with new product ideas. 

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Information Management and Technology from Syracuse University where I was captain of the Cross Country and Track & Field teams and member of the Big East Academic All-America Team 1997-99. 

As a lifelong runner I have run hundreds of races, including 4 marathons with a best time of 2:42.
