Interview

We had the privilege of delving into conversation with Mike, exploring his journey, the groundbreaking work being done at Neurons and RWA Inc., and his vision for the future of investment.

Mike, your career trajectory is fascinating, seamlessly blending academia with entrepreneurship. What initially sparked your interest in neuroscience, and how did that passion evolve into the creation of Neurons?

[Mike Storm]: Growing up in a family with a Neuroscience professor instilled me in a deep fascination with complex systems. The human brain, as the ultimate decision-making machine, became an irresistible challenge. I aspired to understand not only how it works but also how that knowledge can be applied to solve real-world problems.

Neurons was born from the conviction that neuroscience, combined with the power of AI, held the key to unlocking a deeper understanding of consumer behavior. We saw a gap in the market, a need for scientific rigor in an industry often driven by gut feeling and guesswork. Neurons emerged to bridge that gap, providing businesses with data-driven insights to create more effective and impactful marketing campaigns.

Neurons boasts an impressive roster of clients, including major brands like TikTok, IKEA, and Google. What key factors do you attribute to this success, and how does your approach differentiate Neurons in a competitive landscape?

[Mike Storm]: Our success is rooted in three core principles: scientific validity, tangible results, and a team driven by passion and expertise.

What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to using real neuroscience. We go beyond traditional market research methods, which often rely on subjective data. Instead, we leverage advanced brain imaging and biometric technologies to measure subconscious responses, providing a level of insight into consumer preferences and motivations that traditional methods simply cannot match.

This commitment to scientific rigor, coupled with our dedication to delivering measurable results for our clients, has earned us the trust of some of the world's leading brands.

Your journey then led you to co-found RWA Inc., a company pioneering real-world asset tokenization. What sparked your interest in this field, and how do you see it connecting to your work at Neurons?

[Mike Storm]: At their core, both Neurons and RWA Inc. are driven by a shared mission: to leverage technology to democratize access and empower individuals. Neurons aims to level the playing field in marketing, while RWA Inc. focuses on making investment opportunities more accessible.

The potential of RWA tokenization to revolutionize the financial industry ignited my interest. I saw an opportunity to unlock trillions of dollars in illiquid assets – real estate, commodities, private equity – and make them accessible to a wider range of investors, not just a select few.

RWA Inc. has distinguished itself by securing most of the necessary regulations for its operations, a significant accomplishment in the evolving world of blockchain. How did your team navigate this complex landscape, and what does this regulatory clarity mean for investors?

[Mike Storm]: From the outset, we recognized that regulatory clarity would be paramount to building trust and ensuring the long-term success of RWA Inc. We assembled a top-tier legal team with expertise in both traditional finance and blockchain regulations.

Our approach has been proactive and collaborative. We engage with regulators openly and transparently, ensuring our operations meet or exceed the highest standards. This has been instrumental in securing the necessary licenses and approvals to operate as a fully regulated RWA tokenization ecosystem.

For investors, this regulatory clarity provides peace of mind. They can invest with confidence, knowing their investments are protected within a framework that prioritizes security, transparency, and compliance.

You've successfully raised significant capital for both Neurons and RWA Inc. What advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs seeking funding for their ventures?

[Mike Storm]: Securing funding is often a challenging hurdle for entrepreneurs. My advice centers around three key pillars:

• Authentic Passion and Purpose: Investors are drawn to founders who are genuinely passionate about solving real problems. Your passion will be contagious and inspire confidence in your vision.

• Unwavering Preparation: A great idea is just the starting point. Investors need to see that you've done your homework – a deep understanding of your target market, competitive landscape, and a clear path to profitability are crucial.

• The Power of a Strong Team: Investors are ultimately investing in people. Surround yourself with a talented and dedicated team that complements your strengths, shares your vision, and possesses the expertise to execute your plan.

Looking ahead, what are your long-term goals for both Neurons and RWA Inc., and how do you envision these companies shaping the future of their respective industries?

[Mike Storm]: For Neurons, our ambition is to become the global gold standard for neuromarketing AI, empowering businesses of all sizes to create marketing campaigns that resonate deeply with their target audiences, leading to more meaningful connections and impactful results.

For RWA Inc., our vision is to establish the leading global platform for RWA tokenization, democratizing access to investment opportunities, and creating a more inclusive and efficient financial system that benefits everyone.

I believe both companies have the potential to disrupt their respective industries, creating a future where data-driven insights and technological innovation drive greater accessibility and empower individuals to make more informed decisions, whether in their consumer behavior or their investment strategies.

Mike, thank you for sharing your insights and vision with us. It's clear that your unique blend of scientific curiosity, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication to democratizing access will continue to drive innovation and positive change in the years to come.
