Michael Aquino was working in hospitality when he identified an opportunity in health care. Using the customer service principles he learned from the hospitality industry, Aquino set out to improve patient care. He recognized that the gap between innovative medical products and patient access often came down to service and logistics, and he founded Acesso Biologics to address this discrepancy.
Acesso Biologics was founded in 2022 with a two-person team and grew into a company serving patients in 48 states. The company connects hundreds of partners and families with therapies such as amniotic membrane products and sports medicine allografts. He has deployed millions in capital, driven significant transaction volume, and built a business that competes with larger, well-capitalized firms.
Aquino believes community involvement is essential and is actively involved with Goodie Two Shoes, the UNLV Foundation and the Tyler Robinson Foundation.
