My Resume

Hi there! I’m Dylan Wheeler, a driven and optimistic innovator committed to leveraging technology for positive impact. My journey began growing up in a small town in New Hampshire, where I realized the countless opportunities to make positive change. The idea of startups intrigued me because of their fast-paced, results-focused environments, where I could make an immediate impact and then focus on scale.

From developing Loggit to streamline professional development for teachers, to co-founding ecoText, Inc. to make college more affordable, my path has been driven by a desire to solve real-world problems and empower communities. With Wild Capital, I focus on providing affordable and safe housing, managing strategic acquisitions and portfolio growth. Influenced by thinkers like Naval Ravikant, I’ve shaped my life around the principles of leverage and long-term impact.

I am passionate about Bitcoin. It can revolutionize the global financial system, restoring power to the people and creating a more equitable world. Bitcoin is the technological solution to fiat currency inflation and will transform how we view ownership and economic freedom for the better. Michael Saylor’s insights have influenced my understanding, and I often enjoy writing about and discussing the topic.

Outside of work, I love life and strive to spread good vibes. Building my website and open-sourcing my ideas has been a passion project, for I am all about using technology to help people live fulfilling lives. Read my writing for a dose of optimism and inspiration! My core values—impact, good vibes, and building together—guide me in every endeavor.

Let’s connect and build something amazing together 🚀
