My name is Peter J. Burns and I am a lifelong entrepreneur. I am so glad you have found my website and I hope you will enjoy learning about my professional endeavors! My company offers a variety of services, including providing funding options to small businesses. Also, I am frequently developing new projects! It is an honor to share my entrepreneurial journey with other like minded, business savvy, passionate people!
Burns’ Beginnings
I come from a well established New England family but grew up in New Canaan, Connecticut. I spent my summers on Nantucket Island and my winters on Sanibel Island. I received my education at the United States Military Academy Preparatory School, The McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia, and Harvard Business Schools’ Owners and Presidents Management Program.
I served in the US Army as an infantry soldier during the escalation of the Vietnam War. I was granted an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point and attended West Point Prep. I then won a four year Army ROTC Scholarship to the University of Virginia.
The Entrepreneurial Spirit
My "official" career as an entrepreneur started as a result of taking a fourth year course called "Entrepreneurship" at the University of Virginia as a first-year student.
My business plan written for that course was to import mopeds (motorized bikes) to the United States from Europe then rent them to tourists at US resorts. I executed my business plan on Nantucket Island upon completion of my class. In doing so I became financially stable and never looked back!
Now, over forty five years later I have seen some amazing wins and spectacular losses in my entrepreneurial career but I am far from finished! I returned from a six month stretch in Ethiopia as a volunteer for an international NGO and had a fantastic experience. I decided to make Ethiopia one of my new home bases and had a myriad of business ventures starting up there. It is my intention to create “Ethiopian Capital Partners”, the first capital fund in Ethiopia. My plan is to launch this sweeping venture as a public company on one of the London Exchanges in the future. (www.expatrepreneur.us)
Currently, I have a home in southern California's beautiful La Jolla and have began another dozen new business ventures. (see below)
Continued Successes
I have introduced a remarkable FinTech product, which I named the "Entrepreneurs Credit Card". I re-launched my cost segregation marketing business and am very busy with my financial consulting company known as Burns Funding.
Another large venture is my foray into cryptocurrency mining. I combined the top tech provider in this field with my financing capabilities and we managed to produce $1 million in fundings of the crypto mining machines in the first week See the details of this undertaking at Cryptech Alchemy.
