Our very special guest on Rising Tide Startups is Arjun Rai, rounder of hellowoofy.com.  Arjun is a New York City based entrepreneur originally from West Windsor, New Jersey (aka Princeton Junction). Since high school, he has been networking with some of the most well known entrepreneurs and even worked on a few projects and startups of his own.

Upon graduation, Arjun pursued his career opportunities and came to New York City where he enrolled at the New York Institute of Technology in 2011 with scholarships and grants. Following a few weeks into college, he launched his second startup, fuelbrite.com, a social media agency focused on small businesses and startups, and a student-focused organization, TheBizDen.

After interning at a PR and ad agency in the summer of 2012, Arjun quickly saw the need for yet another startup within the tech space and raised a seed investment round to build it out. That startup became Wrkbench.io which was a virtual collaboration space designed for creative and visual people (we liked to say we make visual conversations).

After spending a few years and learning the ins and outs of running a venture backed startup, he set out to modernize another industry related to his former passion of social media. The startup would be known as HelloWoofy.com which is a social media management platform driven by artificial intelligence to help small to medium sized businesses with digital marketing.

Arjun currently lives in New York City.  He went to the NYIT School of Management (majoring in Small Business and Entrepreneurship). He also holds several notable awards and has been previously or is currently a member of the Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society and Golden Key International Honour Society. Professionally, Arjun has also been a member of The One Club, The Art Directors Club, The Advertising Club of NY, Social Media Marketing Society, IVY Connect Club etc.

Featured on: Entrepreneur Magazine, Forbes, Inc Magazine, MarTech Today, Search Engine Land, NASDAQ, Small Business Trends and more.

Our special guest on Rising Tide Startups is Austin McCulloh.  After managing just under half a million dollars a few years ago as a 21-year-old financial advisor & running an online hiring agency that taught English to over 700 Chinese children, Austin decided to start his own consulting firm, Austin McCulloh Advising. In late 2020, he pivoted the business model to include a 3-Step Financial Advisor Accelerator that now helps financial advisors grow their book of business & increase their income. Financial advising, to date, has been more of an art form than an exact science, and Austin's on a mission to make financial advising success more systematic.

Whether it's helping clients take their income from $300/month to $5,000/month, secure a contract with a Fortune 1,000 company, or being a key advisor from launch to a 7-figure exit for a high growth SaaS startup, Austin McCulloh understands business growth.

Our special guest on Rising Tide Startups is Anthony Blatner.  Anthony is the founder of Speedwork Social, a top LinkedIn Advertising agency. As a previous tech founder and ex-IBMer, he has seen a lot of companies have explosive growth with good technology and good marketing, while others (even though they had a great product or service) fail without effective marketing. In 2016, he started Speedwork to help those companies unlock their B2B marketing potential. By blending his experience in marketing and software, Anthony is able to help businesses reach high-level decision makers at scale using LinkedIn Ads and technology.

It's safe to say that Anthony is one of the top LinkedIn ads experts in the industry, having managed millions in ad spend and generating over 100,000 new sales opportunities.
