Whether you are just getting started on your path to entrepreneurship or looking for new ways to stay competitive and relevant, we're here to help.
The Heart of our business
The proud daughter of two small business owners, Founder & CEO, Annisa (Farese) Teich, grew up spending time stocking shelves and creating displays at her mother's earth-friendly retail store, and accompanying her father on dump runs and long-haul roll-off adventures for his local waste management company. All the while, she listened and absorbed the activity, the successes, and the struggles both parents faced as entrepreneurs, with the dream of someday following in their footsteps.

ANNISA TEICH
FOUNDER - STRATEGIC MARKETING, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT & TECH INTEGRATION
Though a trained print and broadcast journalist, Annisa fell into marketing while working in college radio and music industry promotions and never looked back. A native of Northern New Jersey, she developed her skills working as in-house marketing staff and on agency projects for global brands including Sotheby's International Realty, Walmart, and PepsiCo. While in Manhattan, the tech bug bit.... hard. Annisa found a unique opportunity and community in Silicon Alley, working with start-ups and late-stage tech firms - as well as a life partner.
Now, settled in Connecticut with her family, Annisa leads our lean local and remote team with a deep love for our work and our clients.
Annisa is also the Co-Founder of Bromleigh Ventures, alongside her mother Annette Farese - the parent company of West Hartford Coworking and Windsor Worx. The firm works to drive economic development, working with commercial property owners to help them drive greater value for their property and change the perceptions of ailing commercial neighborhoods.
