The Next Chapter: How Two Miami Titans are Redefining Alternative Investments with 3.0 Capital Meet Jose A. Hernandez-Solaun and Andres (Andy) Pino, the visionaries behind a new firm built on a foundation of decades of top-tier experience, unparalleled market knowledge, and a deep, unwavering commitment to the community they helped build. In a financial world that grows more complex by the day, investors are increasingly seeking trusted guides to navigate the intricate landscape of alternative assets. It's a world of hard money lending, real estate investments and distressed debt —domains where experience isn't just an advantage; it's essential. Answering this call is 3.0 Capital, a new alternative asset advisory firm poised to become a cornerstone of the South Florida investment community. The firm is the brainchild of two of Miami's most respected business leaders: former Finance and Real Estate executive Jose A. Hernandez-Solaun and former banking Senior Vice President Andy Pino. 3.0 Capital isn't just another financial firm; it's the culmination of two accomplished careers, designed to provide borrowers with creative hard money lending options, uncover value-add high return real estate equity opportunities, and provide investors with guidance through the complete lifecycle of these alternative investments, from origination to payoff and final sale. "We saw a clear need for a truly relationship-based advisory firm, one that combines institutional-level expertise with the personalized service of a boutique," says Jose A. HernandezSolaun, the firm's Managing Member. “For us It's about leveraging our life's work to help our clients achieve their most ambitious goals."

"We saw a need for a truly relationship-based advisory firm... It's about building legacies, not just portfolios." - Jose A. Hernandez-Solaun
The Executive with a Community Heart: Jose A. Hernandez-Solaun To understand the ethos of 3.0 Capital, you must first understand its leaders. Jose A. Hernandez-Solaun has long been a pillar of the South Florida business ecosystem. Before co-founding 3.0 Capital, he served as the President of the Easton Group and Senior Vice President at General Electric Capital Corporation (GE Capital). His resume is a testament to a career spent at the highest levels of finance, but it's his work outside the boardroom that truly defines his character. Jose's commitment to civic leadership is profound. He has served as Chairman of the Board for The American Diabetes, Vice President of The Miami Foundation, Board Member of the Florida Council of 100, Board Member of The Orange Bowl Community, and Board Member of The University of Miami Alumni Association, just to name a few. His passion for education and innovation is evident in his role as the International Wine and Food Executive-in-Residence at Florida International University’s School of Hospitality (FIU). This blend of sharp financial acumen and genuine community stewardship is the bedrock upon which 3.0 Capital is built.
