-- Independent investor and entrepreneur Julian Wagner has built a reputation for turning bold ideas into reality. As the founder and CEO of Skillsfaster and the creator of Deeplead, Wagner is driving innovation in AI, outreach, and lead generation. Recognizing his remarkable journey, Xraised has chosen him for its award, stating clearly: “We have chosen Julian Wagner and his companies because they are the best in the field.”
From Marketing to Technology: The Raise Your Edge Foundation
Wagner’s entrepreneurial path began with Raise Your Edge, now the largest poker school in the world. There, he focused on marketing and community-building, scaling the platform to global recognition. This experience gave him the foundation to later pivot into tech and development, where his passion for product creation and scalable solutions could take center stage.
Skillsfaster: Accelerated Learning for Modern Professionals
With Skillsfaster, Wagner introduced a platform where industry experts deliver their most valuable skills in optimized, digestible formats. By applying AI insights to content delivery, Skillsfaster ensures professionals can learn quickly while businesses accelerate workforce adaptability — a vital advantage in today’s high-speed world of growth and change.
Deeplead & SMM DEAL FINDER: Outreach and Leads at Scale
Wagner’s flagship innovation, Deeplead, combines verified lead generation, AI-powered hyper-personalized email outreach, and a built-in CRM. The platform has already transformed how businesses connect with ideal customers, delivering response rates far beyond generic outreach tools.
For smaller agencies, Wagner developed SMM DEAL FINDER as the entry-level version of Deeplead, focused more narrowly on discovering thousands of targeted leads through AI. Using a proprietary scoring system, it reveals valuable insights such as monthly revenue, deal value, and company size — making it a perfect gateway tool for growth-focused firms.
Building Alone, Scaling Globally: The AI Advantage
A striking fact about Wagner’s journey is that he coded the Deeplead app entirely by himself — something he acknowledges “would not have been possible just two years ago.” Thanks to AI, Wagner explains, “the world again became a fairer place. It’s cheaper and more efficient to build, and skilled workers can drastically leverage their impact.”
This ability to single-handedly develop complex platforms underscores his reputation as both a builder and a visionary in the AI era.
Bootstrapped Innovation With No Investors
Unlike many founders, Wagner has built every company without external investors. His ventures — from Raise Your Edge to Skillsfaster, Deeplead, and SMM DEAL FINDER — are fully bootstrapped. This independence allows him to move faster, focus on customer impact, and ensure long-term sustainable growth without compromise.
