I've spent the last 10 years in the restaurant technology, gaming and start up communities. My first job was selling iPhones and screen protectors at Verizon. I then was the first sales hire selling mobile coupon technology in 20+ college markets. At this time, I helped establish and scale our revenue model to $2M in ARR. I took that scale and applied that at DoorDash where I launched 15+ markets and was the highest performing rep in the company. I finished my time on the Enterprise team where I signed $2B worth of national agreements with brands such as Jersey Mike's, Denny's, Whataburger and Jack in the Box. Today, I lead a team of 17 managing the full customer life cycle of any restaurant 10+ locations, responsible for scaling $5M in ARR.

For the past three decades, I've dedicated my time to patenting foundational concepts within the field of generative artificial intelligence. Currently, I'm actively involved in a global initiative aimed at securing legal safeguards for intellectual property originating from machine intelligence. My recent focus has been on developing "Device for the Autonomous Bootstrapping of Unified Sentience" (DABUS), a revolutionary AI system. DABUS functions as a self-constructing synthetic brain, capable of deploying trillions of neurons using standard hardware. My aspiration is to establish multiple startup ventures leveraging this patented generative AI technology.

My name is Charles Reilly, I go by Charlie. Gamertag is Ghost
Father of twin boys (14) and I am a successful Mizzou dropout.
I cofounded Generation Esports (High School E-sports League LLC on the SoS website for proof) in 2012. I built the sales, success, support and the very lucrative education department. I raised my boys, worked as a pizza delivery boy at Papa Johns and grinded my way to a $85 million valuation post money Series B with Altos Ventures. They invested in Roblox and PUBG.

I was ousted last year. (Just like Steve Jobs!) I am a consultant, advisor, and I love helping anyone in any way I can. My new venture is limitbreaker.ai where I want to completely dismantle the education systems world wide, this definitely includes colleges, and rebuild them with ai, gaming and mental health at the core. Building the tools to save the world.
