Mike Napodano
Founder
Mike founded 1stRing AI with a simple vision: no local business should ever lose a customer because they couldn't pick up the phone. With deep roots in the Long Island business community and a passion for practical technology, Mike drives the company's mission to give every small business an AI-powered team member that answers on the first ring.
Our Mission
We believe every local service business deserves the same AI technology that Fortune 500 companies use — without the Fortune 500 budget. Our mission is to level the playing field by giving small businesses on Long Island's South Shore AI-powered tools that capture more leads, book more appointments, and drive real revenue growth.
