Startup Networking⚡& Fireside Chat w/ Rye Smith (Claude Ambassador, Founder & Investor

​This is a Social Networking event with a Fireside Chat with Rye Smith, Claude Code Ambassador, & Founder of Spruik

​Rye's passion for Tech and digital started at Age 11, when he started to code with HTML and CSS, to be able to edit his profile on Neopets

​Neopets was a free-to-play virtual pet browser game.
It featured mini-games, events, contests, digital food, items, appearance customization, PvP & PvE battles, guilds, social messaging, message boards, virtual currencies, and a market for buying, selling & trading items.

• ​In 1999 at Age 12, Rye landed his First paid web design client for $600 ( ≈$1300 today)

• ​In 2015 he started Appcelerate, which provided mobile and web development services, which he later sold in August 2017 to Them Advertising

• ​In 2020 he launched YourLocal, a food delivery and takeaway app trying to compete with the big names during Covid

• ​After that, Rye has gone on to create a bunch of different products and startups
  
  Rye's current work is at Spruik Digital, where he has helped 500+ companies with AI and Data Driven Digital Marketing solutions, with activities ranging from AI SEO to Digital Ads, AI Automation and Social Media,
  generating $3 Million+ in Revenue to date.
  
  He is one of two Claude Ambassadors in Australia,
  and recently ran Claude Impact Lab helping people launch impactful ideas with AI in just a day.
  His hobby game project Manager11 is a great example of what can be made 100% with AI.
