Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration is the everyday person who almost got scammed the senior who nearly wired money to a fake grandson, the student targeted by a crypto scheme. I built Scam Watcher AI because I've seen how financial fraud destroys lives, and I believe technology should protect people, not just profit from them. Knowing that a single app could prevent real financial harm to real families keeps me building every day.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by the mission. Every beta tester who tells me the app caught something suspicious reminds me why this matters. I'm also a parent building a safer digital world for my daughter Journey makes this personal. The gap between the sophistication of scammers and the tools available to everyday people is massive, and closing that gap fuels me even on the hardest day

What would you do with the $25,000?

The $25,000 would fund Scam Watcher AI's full market launch. Roughly $12k goes toward targeted digital advertising reaching seniors and families most vulnerable to scams. $5k toward PR and community partnerships with credit unions and AARP chapters. $5k for content creation and video ads. The remainder covers infrastructure scaling and legal setup. This investment turns a launch-ready product into a revenue-generating business protecting thousands.
