About

Polpo Group Enterprises was created by Anthony Tumbiolo. After graduating college he created Jakt, a digital product & innovation studio. He ran that business for 7 years then sold it in 2018.

Anthony is now using the profits from Jakt + his operational experience to start other businesses & invest in alternative assets.

Why the name Polpo?

Polpo means octopus in Italian. My family is Italian so I decided to name the group Polpo instead of Octopus.

But why Octopus?

My personality type is INTJ and according to Google an octopus is the animal of INTJs. So I decided that was fitting.

And then I expanded the meaning a bit. I see all the tentacles of an octopus as all the different businesses and investments that combine to form a strong head at the top. They all combine to form a stronger whole and the head (Polpo Group Enterprises) is what connects all of them, giving direction and guidance and ensuring the system works and is better together than apart.
