Play the funk

Executive: Angelo Biasi, founder and CEO, MassiveU, Naples. MassiveU is a mobile education platform and distance learning technology company that develops courses primarily with the mobile user in mind.

Diversion: Playing funky rhythm and blues with fellow Venture X tenants Jose Tribaldos and Raphael Santos, architectural associates at Hlevel Architects. Venture X is a shared office and co-work space in Naples.

Ask the question: You wear a lot of hats and endure high-intensity workdays as “chief psychologist and bottle washer” at MassiveU, says Biasi, describing his role at the educational tech company he founded in 2013. A clear need to turn it off at the end of the day led the longtime keyboard, piano and accordion player to go in search of like-minded musicians at Venture X in Naples last July. (MassiveU's offices are in Venture X.)
