ABOUT US
As former professional investors, we have analyzed and supported hundreds of diverse companies. We transitioned our full-time effort to bringing Smash My Trash to the North Shore of Massachusetts as it carries a proven characteristic of successful businesses: a truly value-added service with a customer-first mentality. We address a major pain point for customers (i.e., expensive, unreliable waste operations) and drive value to the entire ecosystem, making our customers’ jobs and workflows easier and more efficient.
