Arandu Strategies is a strategic advisory firm that combines empirical research, institutional relations, and structured project execution. Our work is anchored in three core functional areas: conducting country and regional risk assessments to identify structural market entry points and monitor regulatory shifts; designing proactive public relations and communication strategies, events, and multi-stakeholder convenings to build institutional authority and manage public advocacy; and managing the project execution lifecycle—from structuring competitive public sector grant proposals to engineering custom KPI frameworks and performance evaluation metrics for corporate boards. What sets us apart is our methodology: we integrate rigorous statistical and mixed-methods data controls with active, primary intelligence drawn from a cultivated network of on-the-ground regional sources.

Farmaps is bringing an innovative tactile map format—still rare in the U.S. market—to the postcard: terrain designed to be read with your fingertips. Created by a professional map designer, each card uses a relief-printing process adapted to postcard scale, transforming authoritative, public-domain elevation data from the U.S. Geological Survey into landscapes that can be both seen and felt. Our vision is to change the way postcards are experienced—from flat images read with the eyes into landscapes explored by hand—and inspire people to think spatially.

Welcome to our “casa” in Riverdale! We are Emiliano & Franca, and opening Emiliano’s Market has been a dream of ours for many years!
We want more than just a market with great Italian food—we also want to bring the atmosphere of our unique small-town Italian culture to the neighborhood. So we’ve created our own “piazza,” where people can stop and sit, enjoy a panino, meet up with friends and make new ones. Just like in a piazza in our hometowns in Italy!
We are always looking for Italian products from small producers, so stop by often, we’ll always have something new to offer. Our hope is to not only to provide the best quality food from Italy, but to make people feel joy here. When people walk in, we see them smile, and because of that we think we have achieved our dream.

Advisory Solutions is a New York City-based managed service provider (MSP) specializing in Apple-first IT infrastructure, security, and identity management for venture-backed and growth-stage companies. Founded in November 2016, the firm supports approximately 60 clients across roughly 5,000 endpoints, delivering enterprise-grade IT operations to fast-growing organizations that need to scale securely without building an internal IT function from scratch.
Advisory is SOC 2 Type II certified and was recently named to the 2026 MSP 501 list (#219), a national ranking of top-performing managed service providers. The company's core technology stack includes Jamf, Okta, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Intune, Cloudflare One, and Meraki, supporting a broad range of services from endpoint management and identity/access control to network security and zero trust deployment. Advisory also builds proprietary tooling, including an internal platform called Wizard, and uses automation frameworks to streamline service delivery across its client base.
Advisory's client base is concentrated in venture-backed startups and growth-stage companies, giving the team deep familiarity with the compliance, security, and scaling challenges unique to that segment (SOC 2 readiness, due diligence support, rapid headcount growth, and M&A-driven infrastructure changes).
Advisory Solutions is led by Founder and CEO Anoush, a former Apple systems engineer with degrees from NYU Stern and the Center for Global Affairs.
