We’ve applied our disruptive thinking and

relational approach to produce solutions

that create tangible impact across multiple

industries.

the big picture


Relationships first; that’s what we’re all

about. As a collaboration engine, we help

empower and create opportunities for

disruption and growth in the areas of

people, spaces, and products focusing on

people…not just the outcome. We’d say

more, but pictures do a better job.

about us


An engineer turned entrepreneur, Michael

is one half of covello and bakes a lot of

banana bread. Other than making sure

people are taken care of, he spends some

of his time designing stuff and making up

silly characters and songs.

about us: Michael


A champion for startup culture and the

collaborative economy, M. Cole has

worked the C-suite to the off beat both

domestically and abroad. As the other half

of covello, he enjoys one-line karaoke and

doing backflips in Vegas on a rooftop bar.

about us: M. Cole


We focus on relationships and listening.

Then we apply some design thinking while

starting small to make sure we deliver truly

innovative and sustainable solutions.
