SHARE THIS SUCCESS STORY
My successes.

As the Director of VOLTA ion, I'm proud to say that our innovative approach in creating the first electric rechargeable jack has led to significant achievements. Our dedication to renewable energy and eco-friendly practices was recognized with the key to Miami-Dade County, acknowledging our contributions in engineering and employment in Miami.

What do you do?

VOLTA ion specializes in developing top-of-the-line service equipment, focusing on safety, ergonomics, and low carbon footprint. Our flagship product is the first electric rechargeable jack, and we're now expanding our range with a portable version.

What inspired you to start your business?

My inspiration for starting VOLTA ion stemmed from a desire to innovate within the automotive service equipment sector. I wanted to create products that not only excel in functionality and safety but also align with sustainable and eco-friendly values.

What's special about your business?

What sets VOLTA ion apart is our commitment to innovation and sustainability. Our products, like the electric rechargeable jack that uses biodegradable oil, reflect our dedication to renewable energy and reducing environmental impact.

What influenced you to seek help from SCORE?

I was influenced to seek help from SCORE after meeting my mentor, Mark, in a networking group. His insight into what SCORE offers and the realization that they could provide the guidance and support we needed were the driving factors.

How SCORE helped.

SCORE played a pivotal role in VOLTA ion's journey. My SCORE mentor, Mark, guided me through rewriting our business plan during COVID, liaising with banks to secure our first loan, and providing invaluable advice through their extensive network of experts.

What's great about my mentor?

Mark, my SCORE mentor, is exceptional for his resourcefulness and network. Whenever faced with a challenge, he promptly taps into his network of SCORE mentors to find solutions, ensuring that VOLTA ion always has the best guidance.
