Rani Haddad
Technical expertise in crypto, AI agents, venture capital, and cybersecurity, with a strong foundation in technical research. Grew up in Lebanon and now based in California, bringing a global perspective to my work.
I co-founded Axon Technologies, a cybersecurity services company in Dubai. After four years, I moved into venture capital as Head of Operations at Verve Ventures, then joined Once Upon to lead product strategy for their multichain block explorer. I spent a year as a Research Associate at Social Capital, publishing deep dives to over 200k subscribers.
Now I run Gidorah, a research and development studio. These days, I think and code in prompts.
I've built web apps, crypto apps, mobile apps, and write essays on crypto and culture. I do onchain sleuthing for fun. I also have an agent called Ghost that builds in public and orchestrates increasing parts of my life.
