Andrea’s Early Life
Cané Andrea was born in a family of entrepreneurs, and it is here that he picked his first traits as a business-oriented leader. Born in Brescia, Italy, on 25 /06/1991, he always had a passion for art – this led him to eventually open his first self-owned temporary tattoo company, La Bottega Del Tatuaggio (https://www.labottegadeltatuaggio.it/). He accomplished this fete at the tender age of 24 years.
Before starting his own venture, Andrea graduated with a degree in Survey at the age of 18.
Early Professional Career Experience
Having completed his studies in Survey, Andrea decided against pursuing a career in this field. He was always looking for something that would challenge him and trigger his innovative skills. He joined a system automation company that dealt with the supply and installation of automatic gates and doors.
He worked with the company for 5 years and dedicated his innovative skills to help the company grow. At the time of his departure, his contribution had propelled the company’s revenue from 500k € turnover to 1.5M € turnover.
Companies and Partnerships
Cané Andrea had always shown an interest in entrepreneurship, so he left the automatic systems installation company to open his own company. His first attempt as a business founder, the La Bottega Del Tatuaggio, was a great success. The tattoo company had an annual turnover of 70k €, an impressive achievement for a startup of its nature.
With several years of experience under his sleeve, working for the automation company and venturing into the art tattoo business, Cané Andrea didn’t stop there. 2 years later, he co-founded Tesoro Communication (http://www.tesorocommunication.it/), a company that boasted of an average of 30 clients in its initial years.
Tesoro Communication was founded to help individuals and large corporations develop and manage ideal business models through social networks. On average, Tesoro was bringing in 200k € per year.
At 27 years, the self-made entrepreneur took his business instincts to another level when he founded Honey Professionals (https://www.honeyprofessional.it/). This was a business growth assistance provider that focused on Instagram as a marketing platform. Honey Professionals generated 50k € and attended to not less than 250 client requests per month.
Andrea had a way of talking to people that made him build lasting bonds with his clients. He nurtured a working relationship with important clients on Facebook and Instagram. This helped him discover that bugs in major social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok provided a significant business opportunity. Eventually, this would form the foundation for his social enterprise company, the SOS.
SOS’s core mandate was to facilitate business growth and brand visibility through partnerships. The company diversified its operations to include building brand reputation, upscaling e-commerce, and social business strategy.
