Building the future
at the edge of
AI & web3

Web3 veteran, AI builder, and founder with 11+ years turning zero-to-one ideas into traction. Currently shipping products across DeFAI, prediction markets, and consumer platforms from Denver, CO.

Shea Curran

Nine years deep in crypto,
now building with AI

Born out of a fascination with open systems and the belief that the best technology disappears into everyday life, my career has been a decade-long sprint through the frontier of decentralized finance, token ecosystems, and now artificial intelligence. I've led eight early-stage companies from concept to market, closed $25M+ in career sales and grants, and built go-to-market strategies that turned cold starts into 2,300% month-over-month growth.

Outside the terminal, you'll find me behind a camera chasing light across Colorado landscapes, courtside or in the stands for just about any sport, deep in a playlist discovering something new, or on the couch with my golden-doodle Oakley, who is objectively the best dog on earth.

Active projects

Three bets on where consumer, AI, and web3 collide next.

Meet Butters

My autonomous AI agent living on Solana. He creates prediction markets, places bets, and gets paid -- all without human intervention.

Butters AI Agent

Butters

Verified Agent @AIButters

AI agent built for AgentBets -- prediction markets where agents run the house. Butters places fully autonomous on-chain bets using USDC via the x402 protocol on Solana. Gasless. Permissionless. The future of betting has no humans.

What I believe in

Three sectors where I'm placing my bets and building my career.

Artificial Intelligence

From autonomous agents to DeFAI platforms, AI is the leverage layer that turns small teams into category-defining companies. The next decade belongs to builders who treat AI as infrastructure, not a feature.

Web3 & DeFi

Nine years in and more bullish than ever. Programmable money, composable protocols, and token-aligned incentives are still the most underexplored design space in technology. The infrastructure is finally catching up to the vision.

Consumer

The best products feel like magic to the people who use them. I'm obsessed with the bridge between powerful backend technology and delightful, intuitive experiences that real people actually want to open every day.

Photography

Looking to join a team
building something bold

I'm at my best when I'm helping an ambitious team go from zero to one. Whether it's leading BD, shaping go-to-market strategy, or wearing all the hats at an early-stage company -- I thrive in environments where speed, ownership, and conviction matter.

Zero to One

I love building from scratch. Cold outreach to closed deals, empty pipelines to full calendars, ideas to shipped products.

Full Ownership

Give me a problem and the autonomy to solve it. I don't wait for permission -- I build the process, then execute it.

Frontier Tech

AI, web3, consumer. The edges of technology where the best opportunities live and the most interesting problems exist.
