Porto Franco is located in a Victorian building at 953 Valencia St., where the owners used to announce concerts on a bulletin board outside. Sergei and Peter Varshavsky started the recording company in 2009. Now they’ve moved on to videos.

Social Media Whiz. Marta came from Zaragoza, Spain to master her English but everyone she spoke to wanted to practice Spanish and earn her Master's Degree from UC Berkeley. After just a few months in the Mission, she she felt at home, but alas, she had to leave San Francisco to follow a job with CNet. She now lives in Boston, but knows the Mission well and having her return to manage our social media has been a coup for us.
