Arjun Rai is a dynamic bi-coastal entrepreneur, product inventor, and tech innovator, currently living between New York City and San Francisco. Originally from West Windsor, New Jersey (aka Princeton Junction), Arjun’s entrepreneurial spirit was sparked at a young age, leading him to launch his first startup at the age of 16. By 33, he had founded or worked on five companies, raised significant capital, including investments from Tim Draper and Peter Thiel’s Scout Fund 1517, and scaled ventures one of which to seven-figures in total revenues.
Arjun’s journey into entrepreneurship began in high school when he networked with some of the most well-known entrepreneurs, worked on several projects, and even launched his own ventures. After graduating, he pursued higher education at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) in 2011, where he majored in Small Business and Entrepreneurship at the School of Management. While still a freshman, he founded Fuelbrite, a social media agency aimed at helping small businesses and startups. Around the same time, he created TheBizDen, a student-focused organization.
Following a pivotal internship at a PR and ad agency in 2012, Arjun recognized the growing demand for tech solutions that would enable better digital collaboration. This insight led him to raise a seed round and launch Wrkbench.io, a virtual workspace designed for creatives and visual thinkers. Wrkbench.io enabled users to communicate through visual conversations, a concept that gained traction with investors and early adopters alike.
As Arjun deepened his understanding of the startup landscape, he identified another gap in the market—social media management for small and medium-sized businesses. In response, he launched Woofy, a social media management platform powered by artificial intelligence. Woofy was designed to simplify digital marketing efforts by providing AI-driven solutions that helped businesses manage and optimize their social media presence. Through this venture, Arjun honed his skills in go-to-market strategies, product ownership, and roadmap planning, driving growth while operating on lean budgets.
With over 12 years of experience as a serial head of AI products at various tech startups, Arjun has become known for his ability to scale businesses from the ground up, often serving thousands of customers with minimal resources. His track record includes raising seven figures in capital, developing groundbreaking patented technologies, and being featured in major media outlets such as Entrepreneur Magazine, Forbes, Inc Magazine, Yahoo!, NASDAQ, Meet the Drapers TV, and Small Business Trends.
As a product inventor, Arjun holds 8+ patents, showcasing his innovative approach to solving real-world problems. His patents include systems and methods for content similarity determination, emoji recommendation, smart speaker media networks, and AR media timeline management, among others. His inventions reflect his passion for pushing the boundaries of what technology can achieve, particularly in AI, automation, and media.
In addition to his entrepreneurial ventures, Arjun is an avid networker and community builder. He has built and nurtured communities within the tech and creative industries.
Arjun’s continuous commitment to learning is evident through his ongoing education in AI and product management. He is currently pursuing an MBA at Questrom School of Business at Boston University along with certifications from leading academic institutions, including:
🔹 IBM: Product Management Essentials [Certificate] - 2024

Whether leading teams, inventing new products, or networking with industry pioneers, Arjun remains driven by his passion for innovation and his desire to modernize industries through technology.
