Shaiden Valentine
I build companies and back founders building the future.
I see the potential in people and ideas, and I bring the right people together to build a better future for all of us.
Solve real problems. Help people self-actualize.
Leave the world meaningfully better than I found it — by building companies that matter, backing founders doing the same, and bringing as many people fully alive as I can along the way. Starting with me.
My companies.
Different surfaces — software, hardware, environments — each designed to run without me. Tap in.
My investments.
Beyond what I build, I back the future I want to live in — founders and companies solving real problems for the long term, from health to frontier tech to the systems we'll all live inside. If you're building something I should see, pitch me.

Find what you were put here to do.
I went from no degree, no job, and years near-homeless to building companies and living the life I pictured — by getting brutally clear on purpose and designing a life around it. When I have the bandwidth, I take on a little of this work directly, to help others do the same.
1:1 Advisory
By the hourBook my time to think through a venture, a decision, a pivot — or just get unstuck. Most people leave clearer on their next move and why it matters.
Purpose & Ikigai Coaching
1:1A guided program to find what you were put on this earth to do — your ikigai — and design a life that actually runs on it. For people serious about the work.
Find Your Purpose
A 10-part video series on finding your purpose — and building a life that actually runs on it.
Books I've written.
Living in Bali
The complete field guide to moving to the island — visas and KITAS, PT PMA companies, HGB land and leases, opening a BCA account, the IMEI trap, buying a bike, SIM A & C licenses, insurance, where to live, gyms, and my actual favorite spots. Everything I wish I'd known, in one honest map.
The Art of Flipping
The exact playbook I used to turn attention and arbitrage into capital — the system, not the hype. Built for people who'd rather understand the machine than chase the trade.
The Game of Life
My ebook on how I actually play life — purpose, ikigai, integrity, travel, love, and money as a byproduct. A clear, no-fluff field guide (with exercises) to living life on your own terms. Read it in an afternoon; use it for years.
