    The Problem

    Even the best operators sit on dead networks. Connections decay, intros never get made, and the highest-leverage opportunities slip past the people who would have closed them.

    The AI Architecture

    Extraordinary is a nomination-only AI network where matching, intros, and collaboration are AI-driven. Members publish goals; the system surfaces the right humans and moves opportunity to them.

    What Aaron Shipped

    • Nomination-only membership of 242+ vetted founders, operators, and creators
    • AI matching engine across goals, expertise, and active asks
    • Active in 23 cities with structured in-person collaboration loops
    • Opportunity feed that pushes warm intros — no cold outreach required

    The Outcome

    A network where opportunity finds the member, not the other way around — turning a passive contact list into an active business engine.

    The architect's edge

    400+ pieces of software architected.

    Aaron has architected 400+ pieces of software across ventures, agencies, and Fortune 500 transformations. The skills and business acumen behind that volume are unmatched — and they show up in every system below.

    Browser layer

    React 18 · TypeScript 5 · Tailwind

    Declarative UI, compile-time type safety, design-token CSS that flips themes from one variable.

    Build layer

    Vite · esbuild · SWC · imagetools

    Native ES modules in dev (instant reloads) and tree-shaken, code-split, hash-versioned bundles in prod.

    Edge & delivery

    Global CDN · HTTP/3 · TLS 1.3 · immutable caching

    Every byte served from the user's nearest PoP. Long-lived caches because filenames are content-hashed.

    Backend layer

    PostgreSQL · PostgREST · RLS · JWT auth · Deno edge functions

    Your schema is your API. Authorization enforced inside the database. Server code without server ops.

    None of this is proprietary magic. It's the modern open web — selected, sequenced, and shipped by an architect who has done it 400+ times. That's the genius: knowing exactly which piece to use, when, and why it pays off three quarters from now.

    "I get warmer, more relevant intros from Aaron's system in a week than I got from my own network in a year. It's the first community that actually does the work."

    What people are saying.

    "Aaron Bare developed a Custom Disruptive Workshop for Coca-Cola's Largest Cross-Functional customer team. He was able to disrupt the way the organization was traditionally thinking by introducing several techniques that will enable the team to become change agents. It was a huge home run for our team and the outside thinking was just what we needed."

    Cathy Horgan, VP

    The McDonald's Division, USA at The Coca-Cola Company

    "Aaron Bare's insightful intellect helps audiences better understand the disruptive nature of social media and the negative and positive impacts on their lives. His insights allow them to leave with a deeper understanding of the challenges they face in these rapidly changing times."

    Jeff McKeever, CEO

    MicroAge and WPO Disruption Chair

    "Aaron's presentation style is comfortable and conversational, yet provocative and stimulating. His interaction with our team left us full of ideas, and wanting more! We highly endorse Aaron as an outstanding presenter, thinker, entrepreneur, and innovator."

    Richard Tollefson, President

    The Phoenix Philanthropy Group

    "I invited Aaron to present to a 'C' Level group of executives on Disruption and its impact on business models and leadership. He succeeded in making a number of us uncomfortable with both the speed and scope of change across a broad swath of hard product and digital verticals."

    Bruce Black, M&A Advisor

    Fox & Fin Financial Group

    "Comments about Aaron Bare's presentation have become viral on our campus. The students quickly and easily identified with him. The campus is in full buzz, 'Inspiring', 'Motivational', 'A career maker'. Aaron is THE Entrepreneurial MAN!"
