Boca Raton has quickly embraced Go Fund Yourself as more than a hit TV show—it’s become a community favorite. With a recent viewing held at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC), locals are showing strong support for the series that blends entrepreneurship, investment, and entertainment.
Episode 7, which aired September 18th on Cheddar TV, once again spotlighted two dynamic startups: Want Italy, a fast-casual pasta concept at New York City’s Oculus, and MVP Kids, an educational platform designed to inspire character and emotional growth in children.
Authentic Italian Flavor: Want Italy
For commuters and tourists at the Oculus/World Trade Center, Want Italy’s Pasta & Go offers something unique—fresh, chef-crafted pasta prepared right before your eyes. Guests can also enjoy espresso and shop a curated retail selection to recreate the experience at home.
The concept combines premium counter-service dining with impulse retail and delivery integrations, creating strong unit economics for investors. The restaurant industry is a challenging one, including a focus on chef training and ingredient sourcing, but the payoff is clear: scalable growth potential in high-traffic markets.

Character for the Next Generation: MVP Kids
While Want Italy fills stomachs, MVP Kids fills hearts and minds. Through its Inspire Character® series, MVP Kids publishes books, puppets, and toolkits designed to help children build empathy, kindness, and resilience.
With 77 titles already in print and toolkits designed for families and classrooms, MVP Kids is tackling one of the most critical areas in education today—social-emotional learning. Partnerships across schools and retail provide a path to scale, making the company attractive for both impact-driven and commercial investors.
