Kate Houck
Executive Director, David's Refuge

Ryan Benz

Everyone here organically is here to see the greater community rise up and do well and its a great mixture of all different business that are trying to leave a lasting imprint in the community of which we serve.”
Dennis Nave

"You know, for me, it's just, again, about being with the community of people. That to me is what this is all about. And if you know the right people in your community, hey, I know this person. I got somebody here. Or maybe I can call to help me bounce ideas off certain people to me. And that's the strongest piece of this.”
Dino Dimkopoulos
President Syntela, Inc.
“From the people that I’ve met here at Profound, there’s some really dynamic business people here and everybody has such a great outlook on life and on Upstate New York.”
Herb Escher
CEO, Dale Carnegie Training
“Wow, what an amazing event! One of the things I’m always looking for is to be able to find a good group of people to what I’ve heard called is co-elevate. How to be able to have the right people around you, that’s going to lift you up lift up your standards, and help you think different. And that’s what I’ve gotten out of this, I truly think differently, I'm getting great insight, and meeting great people to co-elevate with!”
Suresh Goel
CEO, Progressive Implantology
“If you've ever been in a mastermind group before, it's hard to describe how much you have an opportunity to learn. But that's one thing I would say is approach it as an opportunity to learn and share your experiences, but take advantage of the time here. Everyone here has an open door policy. They want to have your phone calls.”
Kate Nutting
Principal & Managing Member, VIP Architectural Associates
“It's amazing here because it's such a layered approach. You meet a few people and you think you've kind of got the group and you're not even close to it! I look around and there's another 20 tables and I'm like, Oh my gosh, I got to go actively reach out to everybody. And I think my favorite part about this experience of ours, people bring their whole selves.”
Nick Barnello
Owner, Northeastern Contractors
“My experience so far, meeting people at Profound, has been amazing. I've gotten great relationships with people. I've actually done business with a bunch of people from here. You know, the friendships are way outside of this, and it's it's awesome. It's exactly what I signed up for.”
Jaime Venditti
Managing Partner & President J Strategies Inc.
“I followed the social media and I still saw the value in what you were doing. I thought this seemed like an organization that I could come in at a midway point and still be integrated and feel like I was a part of the group, which I’m so happy to say I was right.”
Joe Dougherty
Sales Manager, Genesee Regional Bank
"I met Pete McGraw at Profound. We got talking and we’re talking about our business ideas, and I talked about one of mine and he had. We just got going back and forth and so now we’re already starting a company together and it’s hard to believe it won’t be successful.”
Hasan Stephens
Founder & CEO, Good Life Youth Foundation
“So any time you come to Profound, you have all these creative minds that are in business, successful, and when you put that together, it sparks so many new ideas for yourself and you find yourself also being able to give some of the ideas that you have back and it just ping pongs back and forth and it just becomes like intoxicating to be able to have that interaction.”
Bill Schoff
Managing Director UBS Financial Services Inc.
“I am a founding member of Profound and Profound has already exceeded any expectations I had, and we’re only a few months into it, honestly. I’ve met some of the most interesting people in Upstate New York! You know, in my line of business, I have to do that in New York City, or Chicago, or Miami, or Los Angeles. They’re all right down the road here and I think that I will have forged some great relationships by the time we’re done.”
