Who I was, am, will be

Legacy.

I want to pioneer a transformative movement at the intersection of human potential, idea expression, and holistic wealth.

A former multi-medalist junior national swimmer turned entrepreneur, I've spent my life exploring human potential—through sport, startups, communities, and technology.

I founded several ventures, including FashTime, a social network alternative that became the most downloaded app in Italy in June 2019 (200k+ users). I created|led viral communities such as Regole In Amore/Hitch Italiano (dating, 100k+ community) and Homocryptus (crypto community with thousands of members), and accelerated startups like ANote Music (alt investments, 30k+ investors). Additionally, I founded a future-centric Web3 company that went viral. After connecting the dots, I now focus on my new project, Chōka, and persona, Keep Going Marco, while exploring the concepts of Human, Idea & Wealth Longevity with IkiVibeChōkaLabs.

I keep going.

I’ve gone 0→100→0 enough times. Now, I’m documenting myself as I break the cycle and make it for good through the things I build, do, and share.
