Paint your heart out

We Painted our Hearts Out!

I love to give back to our community. I feel very strongly about philanthropic giving, whether it be monetarily or by volunteering my time. And I have the pleasure of working alongside the VantagePoint team who’s equally as passionate about giving back.

A few weeks ago, we partnered with Paint Your Heart Out, Tampa Bay. They are strictly a volunteer effort aimed at painting the homes of the low income, elderly residents of Tampa The program receive any local, state, or federal funding, but rely solely on private contributions such as cash and in-kind donations. In-kind donations include paint, paintbrushes, rollers, scrapers, ladders, and just about everything you need to paint a house.

The VantagePoint team gathered together early one Saturday morning to paint the home of Ms. Josephine. Teamwork makes the dream work!

My Big Announcement

I’ve always been one to work hard and try my best. I firmly believe that a strong work ethic can build character and drive an individual to achieve greatness no matter what obstacles they face.

As I’m sure you’re aware, my company is family owned and operated and has been since 1979. My dad, Louis Mendelsohn, literally came from nothing in a true rags-to-riches story. I’m thankful (and fortunate) that he had the vision and dedication to build our company to what it is today. You can learn more about our nearly 40-year history right here >>

My career with VantagePoint Software started in the mid-1980s when I joined my dad. I’ve worked in every aspect of the business. This gave me first-hand experience that I’ve used to grow my career. And through the years I’ve experienced the growing pains of being a part of the family business… but I’ve also experienced the joy and triumph we’ve achieved as a company by helping traders achieve success with VantagePoint. We have truly changed the lives for members of our team, our customers, and those in the community who are in need.

Today marks a new chapter in my life. I’m proud to announce that I’ve been promoted to President of Market Technologies and VantagePoint Software. You can read the official Press Release here>>

I’m incredibly fortunate to take this next step in my career and I look forward to all the exciting initiatives on the horizon for the VantagePoint team and our customers.

Dunk Tank

Sometimes… I can get a little wacky

Look… it’s not all business at Market Technologies. Yes, we are empowering traders daily with VantagePoint. But, on other days, we like to get a little crazy and let off some steam. I don’t know exactly why I decided to do this (seriously… I have no idea) but I rented a dunk tank. It seemed like a good idea at the time. At our quarterly meeting, I threw on my bathing suit and gave any VantagePoint Team Member who’s been with me for more than 10 years the opportunity to try and dunk me.

Not everyone had the best aim, so there might have been a bit of cheating involved. None the less, a lot of laughs were had by all!

TBT Award

Market Technologies Named Winner of Tampa Bay Times Top Workplaces Award For 2018

Exciting times at Market Technologies! My company (you know… the one behind the world-renowned artificial intelligence trading software VantagePoint) announced it is recognized as a 2018 Top Workplace by the Tampa Bay Times. The award, based solely on anonymous surveys completed by employees, places Market Technologies in the top 10 out of 50 companies with less than 150 employees.

Everyone at Market Technologies is excited about this award because it recognizes that employees value having an employer that offers a meaningful and beneficial place to work. Together, we’ve built a culture where people enjoy coming to work and know they can support their families at a company that cares about them and the community we all live in.”

The recognition is based on employee feedback gathered through third-party research company Energage, LLC. The anonymous survey was completed by 35,925 employees across 186 companies. Any employer — public, private, nonprofit or governmental — with at least 50 employees in the area was eligible to participate.

Almost 40 years ago, my father started Market Technologies with the dream of helping people create life-changing wealth. We’ve grown to be a multi-million dollar, Inc. 500, trading software company with customers in more than 120 countries. We could not have created this success without the dedicated employees who have stuck with us. Giving back to them has always been a key to the company’s longevity and prosperity.”

Market Technologies is Featured in The Neighborhood News

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that my company is a family company. It was first started by my dad, software pioneer Louis B. Mendelsohn. Then I started and worked my way through the ranks eventually becoming president. But outside of the family lineage, I have my work family too. Many of whom have worked alongside me for many years. And as we continue to build the company to greater success (due to VantagePoint, the incredibly accurate AI software), more and more media outlets are taking notice.

We’ve just been featured in the local Neighborhood News here in the Tampa Bay area. Take a closer look at what makes Market Technologies so great.

International Book Day Was a Huge Success For the VantagePoint Team

As you probably know, we partnered with Shriners Hospitals for Children last year. The reason for this post is because I wanted to let you know something very special that happened. It was recently International Children’s Book Day and we did something incredible for the kids at Shriners. I gathered the VantagePoint team together and we committed to donating as many books as possible. A few days passed, and we were able to make a huge donation of children’s books for the patients!

Check out the photo! The stack of books is almost taller than me!!

Party At Shriners

Giving back is part of what makes my company, Market Technologies, so incredible. Over the weekend, we hosted a party for patients and their families at Tampa Bay Shriners Hospitals for Children. Earlier this year, I announced the partnership with Shriners for Q3 of 2017. Then, later at the company’s quarterly event, I announced the extension of the partnership.

Since forming this partnership, Market Technologies has been donating a portion of its sales to benefit the children at the hospital. Shriners Hospitals for Children has 22 locations in Canada, Mexico and the United States which provide care for children suffering from a wide range of pediatric orthopedic conditions regardless of the families’ ability to pay.

In addition to their ongoing monetary donations to Shriners, Market Technologies sponsored the event for the patients and their families, to provide them with a memorable experience full of happiness. Each patient received a personalized invitation in the mail to the party, with thirteen patients and their families, including twenty-one siblings, in attendance. In addition to a tour of the hospital, the event included food, games, and interactive performances by the popular children’s entertainer, Mr. Tommy.

The party was a huge success, measured by the smiles on the kids’ faces and the positive feedback by the patients, their families as well as the staff of Market Technologies who were in attendance. The event was both heartwarming and rewarding. Joyce, an employee of Market Technologies, said, “I’m very grateful to work for a company that believes in giving back.”
