Alvise Pasqualetti founded Brooklyn-based Moriondo Coffee in 2015. It sells a subscription service to small businesses and consumers which includes an espresso machine and monthly supply of coffee beans. Alvise named his start up after Angelo Moriondo who patented the espresso process in 1884.
Earlier, while a teenager in Italy, Alvise played for three years on the ATP professional tennis circuit and was ranked among the top 1,000 players in the world. An injury forced him to give up playing professional tennis. Then, working as a trading assistant at Chimera Capital in Boston, he earned a BA in Economics from Northeastern University as a part-time student. He worked as a junior trader at Stoever Glass, while earning a Master’s in Liberal Arts from the Harvard Extension School.
