Founder mode: active

Hi I'm Matt.
I build wild ideas into real systems.

Founder and operator of KR8TiV AI, KR8TiV Agency, and Aurora Ventures. Based in Costa Rica, building globally. I blend design, venture thinking, blockchain, AI automation, and operator discipline into products that ship. Unofficial tagline: I run companies kind of. Maybe they run me.

Important

Many links in this ecosystem are saved in real time from my X feed and daily research flow. They are not pre-vetted, not security-audited by default, and not endorsements. Always evaluate and security-check before using anything.

Source note

Most references come from other builders and creators. I try to credit people, but attribution can be incomplete. This project is for personal organization first and public usefulness second.

Matt Haynes portrait
The operator story

Nerd-ninja Costa Rica mad scientist.
Staunch generalist. Serial shipper.

I started in hands-on execution worlds, then moved across industries and geographies: construction roots, startup systems, blockchain cycles, regulated finance contexts, founder/operator roles, and now AI-native product operations.

I moved from the great white north to Costa Rica and built a life around curiosity, high-output execution, and unusual combinations: fitness, biohacking, philosophy, simulation theory, psychology, quantum/theoretical science, product design, growth, and deep technical systems.

I do consulting, speaking, interviews, and operator work for teams that value speed with accountability. If the mission is real and the execution bar is high, I am interested.

Operating style

Move fast. Ship often.
Fix in public. Repeat.

I share real build logs, wins, misses, and iteration loops. Less stealth-mode mythology, more durable output.

Curiosity over comfort.

Build in public over stealth mythology.

Execution over performative strategy decks.

Systems over heroics.

And yes, coffee over sleep (working on that).

Signal map

One operator stack, many disciplines

This is the system view of how I work: design, ventures, AI infrastructure, and market execution wired together into one compounding loop. If WebGL gets blocked on your machine, this section still renders with a full fallback.

01

Systems Designer

I architect interface, narrative, and workflow as one product surface so teams move faster with less chaos.

02

Venture Operator

From fundraising cycles to early-stage execution, I run structure where ambiguity is high and timelines are short.

03

AI + Automation Builder

Agents, automation, and productized systems tuned for practical output, not vanity demos.

04

Public Builder

I publish process, experiments, and build logs in public, because momentum compounds faster than mystique.

Operating style

Move fast. Ship often.
Fix in public. Repeat.

I share real build logs, wins, misses, and iteration loops. Less stealth-mode mythology, more durable output.

Contact

Consulting, partnerships, interviews, speaking

Clear asks get faster responses. If you need founder/operator execution with technical depth, send the brief.

Book a meeting

Preferred route is calendar booking. If the calendar URL is being updated, use Linktree or email and I will route it manually.

Book via Cal Alt: Linktree intake

If this button misses, blame founder-hours and send me the link I should be using.
