Robert Ritch is building a mini Berkshire Hathaway
July 13, 2017Home-Page, MNZO0 Comments
Robert Ritch has always respected and studied Warren Buffets techniques and planned to implement them in his version and therefore has purchased the controlling block of preferred shares of Manzo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC: MNZO) and taken the position of President with the firm. Robert Ritch stated the first steps would be to bring the companies filing up to date and then acquire in whole or in part operating companies. There will also be a name change, but the new name has not been finalized or filed for at this time. The currently planned verticals are energy, technology, real estate and financial services.

Negotiations have already begun with several companies, but because of confidentiality agreements, they can not be disclosed at this time. The currently planned verticals are energy, technology, real estate and financial services. The gross revenue of the targeted companies is over $30 million annually. In full disclosure, Robert Ritch did state that he already has an equity position in 70% of the targeted companies, but he believes this shows he is all in on building MANZO and not just looking for a quick out.

MANZO plans to hire additional team members and raise a round of capital soon, but no dates or timelines available at this time.

Take note of the bold/red parts. Looking back through his blog I'm seeing these entries...

Robert Ritch invested in Tinker Tech, inventors of Hillbarrow
January 29, 2017Blog, Home-Page0 Comments

Robert Ritch announced today that he had completed an investment deal with Valerie and Gary Vandelinde, the owners of Tinker Tech. Gary Vandelinde invented and patented the motorized wheelbarrow, “Hillbarrow.” Gary Vandelinde runs a successful concrete company in Lexington KY and invented the Hillbarrow to assist on difficult job sites. He found the Hillbarrow was not only more efficient but also much safer to use than the traditional wheelbarrow and decided to patent the product and take it to market.

Gary Vandelinde reached out to Robert Ritch for not only capital but Rob’s experience in building and running businesses.

Robert Ritch has engaged Robert Downey, Founder, and CEO of Simple Marketing Firm to handle the marketing. Robert Ritch and Robert Downey announced they will be accepting pre-orders by mid-February. If you are interested in more information email Robert Ritch, [e-mail]

There is plenty more to be found on Robert's website including his other ventures and more info about him. Definitely suggest everyone check it out. https://robertritch.com/

I'll keep digging and if I find anything else I'll add/adjust as needed. If anyone else finds new info i'll update this sticky (or just take this and update and I'll re-sticky)

Typical note/disclaimer: All of the above is me trying to connect the dots and help show everyone what I am seeing. What I see is a lot of potential with some big $ coming into MNZO.
