Our team – VERSUS

The team behind versus

Meet the squad turning trading into a 1v1 arena.

A compact crew of traders, gamers and builders obsessed with one question: what if the market actually felt like a ranked game mode?

Sergio "Baldoshii" Co-Founder & Game Director

Read bio

A hyper-competitive mind wired for ladders, not casual mode. Started with trading, but the market alone wasn't enough — no lobbies, no GG, no clutch moments. Versus is his answer: turn every trade into a duel, every session into a climb.

One year ago it was a crazy notebook concept. Now it's a live 1v1 arena where traders queue, rage, adapt and flex like any other ranked title.

Off the record: translated his first game at 16, still keeps his Gameboy, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2. Champion division in Rocket League. Clears Through the Fire and Flames on Expert at 70%+. Whatever game you put in front of him, he tryhards it 100%.

High APM · High risk · Zero off days.

Andrés Meneses Co-Founder

Read bio

A telecom engineer deep in crypto long enough to see every cycle and every narrative. He ensures Versus has real economic logic behind the fun — incentives, ladders, risk and rewards that hold up over time.

When the team wants to ship something wild, he's the voice asking: "What does this do to the game economy?" He turns token flows into rules players don't notice, but feel — while pushing BD so Versus grows with the right partners.

Off the record: featured in Entrepreneur, top 1 influencer in Dubai, stacked with awards… yet somehow still manages to sacrifice a password to the void every now and then.

Long-term thinking · Occasional memory wipes.

Victor Fullstack Engineering

Read bio

The dev who makes the game feel instant and unbreakable. From frontend UI and micro-interactions to sockets, infra and backends — he owns the full stack, making sure queues, timers and duels don't fall apart mid-match.

You won't see his face on the site, but you'll feel his work every time a match starts smoothly and ends without a single desync. Silent commits, loud impact.

Off the record: met Sergio in the most casual way possible — now they queue up twice a month for Magic: The Gathering. From random encounter to core builder, some parties just work.

Invisible carry · 100% tech damage.

Strategic Advisors

A·01

Sam Shami Advisor — Esports & Gaming

Read bio

A gaming industry veteran who's been building competitive ecosystems before esports was mainstream. Founder & CEO of Wild Unlimited and exclusive partner of Esports Business Network in the Middle East.

Co-founder of iFreestyle, iSwim, and Gaming.News. When Versus needed someone who understands both the business and the culture of competitive gaming, there was no second guess.

Off the record: runs a secret streaming account with a solid following. We genuinely believe there's no one better suited to advise Versus than him.

Industry XP · Regional dominance · OG gamer cred.

Mostafa Kazimi Advisor — AI & Cybersecurity

Read bio

CEO & Founder of United AI and Dryads AI, Cybersecurity & Artificial Intelligence Engineer, and Technology Advisor to the Dubai Police. When governments and family offices need to navigate AI and security, Mostafa is the call they make.

Strategic Technology Advisor to governments, family offices, and private sector organizations across the region. He brings institutional trust and technical depth that very few people in Web3 can offer. Versus doesn't just need to be fast — it needs to be airtight.

Off the record: the kind of person who has seen threats most people don't even know exist — and built systems to stop them anyway. Heart of gold underneath all that technical armour: he genuinely invests in the people he advises, not just the projects. Having him in the corner means the arena stays fair, the infrastructure stays bulletproof, and the team stays grounded.

AI · Cybersecurity · Institutional grade · Government trust.

Jesse Darnell Advisor — Capital & Growth

Read bio

The guy who connects the dots between startups and the capital they need to scale. Co-Founder and CRO at Source Protocol, Colorado Chapter Director at VNTR, founder of Trailhead 8 — has helped companies raise over $20M.

In crypto since 2016, advising blockchain startups on investor relations, community building, and growth strategy. When Versus needed someone who knows how venture works from the inside, Jesse was the call.

Off the record: 6+ years in the U.S. Marine Corps before going full entrepreneur. The discipline stuck. The network he's built since is insane.

Dealmaker · Global connector · Capital on speed dial.

Adrián Advisor — Community & Growth

Read bio

The on-chain shepherd of the Versus herd. Takes care of the community the way others take care of PnL: always listening, always scanning for what players actually need, and turning that into real rewards.

From daily vibes to long-term community health, he makes sure queues don't feel empty and the ecosystem stays fun to be in — not just to trade in.

Off the record: gym rat, zero bullshit, genuinely cares about people. He's built communities before and knows how to keep them alive without burning anyone out, including himself.

Community armor · Reward loops · Real ones only.

Juanda Advisor — Creative & Brand

Read bio

He doesn't see "features" — he sees moments: tension, mind-games, comebacks, rematches. Juanda shapes how Versus feels as a universe, from the tone of quickchat to the way a final-second flip hits your stomach.

His job is to keep the experience closer to a late-night ranked session with friends than a cold trading dashboard. If something feels flat, he rewrites it until it has a soul.

Off the record: met Sergio playing Fortnite, now best friends. Lazy by default, lethal when locked in. Has sold artwork to Tyga and other major artists when he decides to actually ship.
