Cammarata also manages the venture capital fund Random Occurrence, which he founded in 2002.
Cammarata was born and raised in Long Island, New York. He was diagnosed with dyslexia during his childhood, which affected his education. His interest in gaming, computers, and the internet began at an early age, particularly through playing the video game StarCraft.
At the age of 13, Cammarata founded his first business, EzzHosting, a web hosting company funded with $2,000 provided by his older brother. EzzHosting operated on a dedicated server and managed websites that collectively received approximately 5 million unique monthly visitors.

In 2001, Cammarata released one of the first video game music videos, which became one of the most downloaded files on GameSpy. The music videos included collaborations such as Diablo II/Gangsters Paradise and Starcraft/Limp Bizkit by GamingMV.
At 15, Cammarata launched a second business, an online advertising network. He gave away websites for free to sell internet ads. He worked with Cox Interactive and AdCritic.com, with the latter eventually becoming part of Ad Age.
In 2009, Cammarata transitioned from technology into the music industry, managing the teen boy band Big Time Rush. He managed the band through his company CMI Entertainment group.
In 2013, Cammarata began an investment fund, Random Occurrence (originally KM Organics Fund). As a band manager, Cammarata had observed a desire among fans for all-natural personal care products. The following year, Cammarata set out to begin investing in the natural products space. In 2014, he met Jamie Schmidt, a creator of natural deodorant products based in Portland, Oregon, and invested in her.
