Meet Brandon Mastrangelo: Senior Business Advisor,  Accountability Partner and Guitar Hero

1. How do you help clients in our programs?
👋 Brandon: I work 1:1 with clients to create clear 12-month business goals, then help them stay on track. I’m kind of like your business GPS — keeping you focused on what matters, not just what feels urgent. Think of me as your accountability buddy!

2. What excites you most about the new Innovation Hub space?
🚀 Brandon: It’s built for collaboration! Starting a business can feel lonely — this space brings people together to share knowledge, build networks, and grow their business. Total game changer!

3. What’s your favorite thing about living in Syracuse?
🌳 Brandon: It’s so walkable! And I love being just minutes away from outdoor adventures — biking, hiking, swimming… you name it. Plus, the people are awesome!

 4. Favorite downtown Syracuse spots?
🏙 Sweet Praxis 🍪, Water Street Bagel 🥯, Lemon Grass 🍜, Creekwalk 🚶, Sound Garden 🎶

5. What do you do outside of work?
🎸 I play guitar, write songs, record music, play hoops 🏀, coach youth sports, and spend as much time outside as possible.

6. Best way to connect?
📬 Email & Slack — hit me up anytime!
