Welcome to my official website. I’m David Paolo, a Rhode Island–based entrepreneur with a long history in technology, finance, and innovation. From founding one of the region’s earliest Internet service providers and taking it public, to building new platforms that combine AI, blockchain, and crowdfunding, I’ve dedicated my career to pushing industries forward.
