Aaron Rafferty

Father and Small Business Owner in irvine

Serial entrepreneur. Behavioral scientist turned builder.

What I've built:

Standard (AI venture studio)
The Tech Buzz (Top Tech News USA)
Real Intent (Intent data for b2b)
WebHawk (automated lead gen)
WYDE (The Impact Exchange - Taking Causes, 501(c)s Public on the blockchain)

The approach: Audience before product. Revenue before funding. Speed over sophistication. If a fax machine works better than an AI agent, use the fax machine.

Background: NIH researcher studying health disparities. Left PhD to scale solutions instead of just studying problems. Master's from Arizona State University.

Philosophy: Most AI adoption fails because it solves problems businesses don't have. Most crypto serves speculation over substance. I build things that work and matter.

Current mission: Proving markets can fund real-world impact. WYDE channels trading into cancer research and global challenges. Because financial innovation should serve human problems first.

CEO. 0-to-1 founder. Multi-entrepreneur who moves fast and builds infrastructure that's actually useful.
