Virgil Bellini, Angel Investor

Following my graduation from UMass Amherst, I spent 9 years in California dedicating my career to early-stage startups, often investing my own capital and raising capital from high-net-worth individuals. As an angel investor and employee at Metallicus, we successfully raised over $10 million. I also helped raise over $1 million for the National Tennis Foundation and the Inspiring Children’s Foundation. After my time in California, I served as an angel investor and played a key role in securing $20 million for a friend's startup, Tacen. While at Tacen, I facilitated the execution of a $500K and a $150K equity round for two blockchain startups. Drawing on my extensive network and experience with high-net-worth individuals, I established Benin, LLC to identify and engage high-net-worth individuals for the mutual benefit of our partners.
