Hi, I’m Angi Milano

I’ve spent 15+ years on both sides of the fintech fence: from traditional banking to (real) cutting-edge startups.

My journey began in banking, where I learned everything about financial services.

Working in roles ranging from finance to credit investigations, I found my innate ability to understand people’s needs and create tailored solutions.

I wasn’t just selling products, I was stepping into my customers’ shoes and asking… What’s in it for them?

Oh, I like to write:

Where was I? Ah, yes. I then…

Transitioned into digital marketing and digital channels, where I honed my skills in evaluating and purchasing fintech solutions.

My ability to connect led me to digital marketing and FinTech sales, where I refined my consultative skills. I thrived on learning the intricacies of new industries and identifying market gaps.

Going through 6 acquisitions taught me how to nail down strategy for maximum impact.

I’ve finally gone on my own and founded Maven Advisory.

Today, I help fintech startups stop worrying about sales. My people-centric and strategic approach allows me to align tech solutions with real-world business needs, turning challenges into wins.

Fintech founders come to me when they’re stuck, whether they need to connect with the right financial institutions or work on a winning go-to-market strategy.

I’ve been featured a few times:

And Chicago is one of my two homes.

What else I’m up to.

EIR with 1871, mentoring scaling companies.

I am a mentor and advisor for early-stage startups with RevTech Labs.

I’m celebrating being 5 years cancer-free. And I’m also a sponsor for cancer research and advancing care and support for patients.

Having a friend donate me one of his kidneys in 2010 makes me a living organ donator advocate.

As a first-generation immigrant in the US, from Argentina, I’m an advocate for Latinos and women in tech as well as LGBTQ+.

I don’t believe we should always “win”, failure and disappointment give you scrappiness, grit, and gratitude needed to really thrive in startups and in life.

I love shark movies. The more ridiculous, the better. Love them, I’ve seen so many, it’s like a disease.

Argentina is the home of my heart.

  • Packages start at $3,000. Everything is tailored to your stage and goals.

  • Most start with a 5-week sprint focused on ICP, messaging, sales process, and demand gen. Some continue with ongoing support.

  • If I see major blockers early, I call them out. Together, we adjust quickly and don’t waste your time or budget.

  • Evaluate:

    1. Did the advisor have startup experience?

    2. Did the Advisor have financial services experience?

    3. How did their advice help propel you forward?

    4. Was the advisor open if he/she did not have expertise and willing to pull in other view points.

    5. How much time have you been trying to make the current process work?

    6. Are you willing to take constructive criticism and implement a new process?

  • Fintech founders, GTM leads, and RevOps teams, mostly pre-Series B and looking to build a repeatable sales motion or refine an exsting one.

  • Yes. We build outbound playbooks, write messaging, and coach teams on how to engage through email and LinkedIn.

  • Yes. I offer monthly support for execution, growth planning, or campaign optimization.

  • No. But I often use FedFis (data), HubSpot (CRM), and Zapier (automation). We’ll work with what you have and recommend only what helps. The pricing for services does not include costs associated with tech stack or data.

  • Yes, if an intro makes sense, I’m happy to make it. But introductions are not guaranteed or included as part of the service.

  • Yes, I can attend events on your behalf or augment your team when needed, but that’s scoped separately and agreed on a case-by-case basis. I also help you identify which events are worth your time and how to show up with a clear plan.

Build sustainable growth through go-to-market strategies backed by both buyer and seller insights.

And if you’re tired of generic buzzwords and want insights from someone who’s lived it…

Hope is not a strategy.
