About

The pitch I made to Strivve's founder
was a Loom of working code.

I'm Mason. I'm 17. I built Rivvak because the gap between “AI agency” and “people who can actually ship a multi-agent system to production” is embarrassingly wide right now — and I'd rather be on the right side of it than wait for someone with the right LinkedIn to figure it out.

I started writing production code at 11 and shipped my first paid project at 14. By the time most of my classmates were picking colleges, I'd already operated four agency-style businesses, two of which still write me checks. None of that matters in isolation. What matters is that the work I do for performance-marketing agencies has been load-tested by running my own.

I'm disclosing my age up front because the people I sell to figure it out anyway, and I'd rather they hear it from me. The argument I make is simple: most AI ops people charge $200/hour to talkabout agents. I just build them. Nobody who's seen the Strivve dashboard has cared about my age in the same call.

What I believe

Working code beats slide decks.
Every prospect call ends with a Loom of a real, deployed agent doing the thing we just talked about. The 2-week Pilot exists because nobody should send me $24K based on a deck.
One agent is a chatbot. Twenty-three is a system.
Single-agent wrappers hit a ceiling at the 3rd workflow you try to automate. Real ops run on swarms that hand work off to each other. That's the only reason Strivve's ROAS moved 340%.
Self-host or stay quiet.
If your agent platform can't run on the customer's Postgres + their Vercel + their Mac Mini, you're a SaaS reseller pretending to be an agency. Rivvak ships every customer their own deployable copy.

Where I've worked

Selected client + agency work over the last 3 years:

  • Strivve Media — the 23-agent build (case study)
  • Multiple performance agencies running $50k–$2M/mo Meta + TikTok spend
  • Two of my own agency-style businesses (Florida-based)
  • Public open-source work on the Rivvak agent runtime

How to reach me

Best path is the discovery call — I keep slots open Tuesday and Thursday mornings ET. If you'd rather email first, support@rivvak.com routes to my inbox.
