Brandon Mazzella

Founder, Builder

I built HostVenom LLC (hostvenom.com & winternode.com) for 12 years while in school and climbing the career ladder in financial services - proof that businesses built on genuine value outlast those built on gimmicks. Finally quit my job to do this full-time. Now building more companies with the same filter: Would I actually use this? Does it solve a real problem? Can we deliver without the bullshit?

About

Core Philosophy

Build businesses you'd actually support as a customer. Most companies optimize for metrics that make investors happy - I optimize for delivering something worth paying for. 12 years of gradual growth beats 12 months of growth hacking every time.

Positioning

Founder who spent a decade+ proving the model before going all-in. Building boring, profitable businesses that win by focusing on signal over noise - delivering actual value in markets drowning in gimmicks.
