Rafael Pena

I'm Rafael (Ralph) Peña, Co-Founder and CEO of WeCheck AI, where we are pioneering the next generation of AI-driven intelligence. Our mission is simple—leveraging our AI Private Investigator (AIPI) to transform how organizations gather and use social media data to protect their interests, enhance decision-making, and identify risks.

We’ve evolved from our early days in real estate prospect insights to more pressing needs: understanding and analyzing digital footprints. Today, WeCheck AI helps law firms, compliance teams, and third-party risk professionals with detailed social media due diligence. But our vision for AIPI goes far beyond that.

🚀 Professional Highlights 🚀

Co-Founder & CEO at WeCheck AI:

Since founding WeCheck, my team and I have innovated in social media due diligence, with plans to expand AIPI into national security, human trafficking prevention, and delivering real-time insights to industries like HR and financial services. This journey hasn’t been easy, but the lessons we've learned along the way have shaped both our technology and our broader vision.

Innovations We're Proud of:

Our technology tracks digital footprints and helps businesses and government agencies identify risks. For example, we’ve helped a major U.S. employer spot a child predator using our social media and facial recognition tools.

Chief Web3 Officer at GolBall:

Before WeCheck, I led blockchain strategy for sports memorabilia authentication, applying cutting-edge Web3 innovations to secure valuable collectibles.

Blockchain Consultant & Fintech Expertise:

I advised startups in decentralized finance. My finance background and exposure to fintech from Bank of America Merrill Lynch has been vital as we build scalable AI solutions.

🎖️ Personal Journey 🎖️

As a Marine Corps Veteran, the discipline and teamwork I learned have been key to my entrepreneurial journey. Founding WeCheck AI has been both challenging and rewarding—creating solutions that not only solve problems but make digital spaces safer and more transparent.
