Antone Biondo
General Manager
One of Antone's favorite quotes:
"Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art.
Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.”
~ Andy Warhol
Antone was a co-founder in 34 Commerce. The '34' was utilized in branding as a tribute to one of the company’s founders, Herschel Walker. Herschel wore '34' during his collegiate & notable professional football career. Antone served as COO, CEO, & board member before returning his full-time focus to the continued strategic development of Catalyst Business Development, Inc.

As CEO, Antone helped capitalize the company, executed a long term bi-lateral licensing agreement with Cinsay (an internationally patented video commerce platform), the executive leadership team was recruited and trained, agreements were made to drive international marketing and distribution, and 34 Commerce acquired PressPay from EZ PAYY, Inc. Antone also led presentation initiatives engaging significant Fortune 500 companies.
34 Commerce collaborated with various companies on integrations, channel development, SXSW events, & sponsored a NASCAR team. The acquisition of the EZ Payy, Inc. app, PressPay (a patent-pending system and method for Mobile Electronic Purchasing; United States 4804227776 of which Antone was 1 of 3 inventors, was a valuable complement to the company’s tech stack. Catalyst finalized the sale of its ownership stake in EZ Payy, Inc. in May 2015. Antone resigned from 34 Commerce in late 2013 to return his focus to Catalyst & acquired 100% of the shares. In 2016, he finalized the sale of membership units in 34 Solutions, LLC.
