The Journey

From Startup to AI Authority

Atena's journey into AI entrepreneurship began over 15 years ago when most businesses didn't even know what AI could do. She saw the potential early and dedicated herself to mastering how artificial intelligence could transform marketing and lead generation.

Since 2015, Atena has helped digital marketers and agencies across the United States cut their lead costs by up to 97%. How? By pioneering real-time AI verification in live lead generation—a breakthrough that changed how businesses find buyers.

Her philosophy is simple: "We're practitioners." Unlike many in the AI space who just teach theory, Atena and her team run full-scale data engines every single day. They don't just talk about lead generation—they do it.

This hands-on approach led to the creation of Lead Hacker, an AI-powered lead generation tool that identifies buyers actively searching for what you sell. At $0.20-$1.90 per lead versus the industry standard of $20-$70, it's revolutionizing how agencies and businesses acquire customers.

Today, Atena leads the AIpreneurs Mastermind, a community of 10,000+ entrepreneurs building AI-powered businesses. Her mission? To help others skip the trial and error and follow a proven path to actual results.
