Cameron Genovese · Founder & Operator
Profile / 03
Building the businesses I want to exist.
Results-driven executive with a 25+ year track record across technology, sales, and operations. I architect the business model, assemble the team, and instrument the growth engine — then run the compounding P&L that turns a category thesis into a real company.
Currently COO & Co-Founder of InstaPass / InstaCash, with an operating career spanning CarMax, Colorado Insurance (acquired by PCF Insurance Services), Massage Envy (multi-unit franchise owner), and Enterprise Rent-A-Car. The ventures on this platform are the next chapter — proprietary, defensible, and built to scale.
