Pacifico Soldati

Chief Executive Officer, Cofounder

Former Army Paratrooper with a JD/MBA

Pacifico is the CEO and cofounder of On Deck Society. He holds a JD/MBA, served in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper, and built the company's entire technical platform in 20 days using AI tools, with zero prior programming experience. He leads strategy, operations, marketing, product, and legal for the company.

Before ODS, Pacifico was COO of a software and app development firm and worked as a marketing consultant running his own business with Aaron. He started On Deck Society in August 2025 with one conviction: the dating industry has been extracting value from lonely people for two decades, and the antidote isn't another algorithm, it's consent.

The dating industrial complex doesn't give a shit about you finding love. We're building something that does.

Aaron Lim

Chief Creative Officer, Cofounder

World-Class Creative Director and Designer

Aaron is the CCO and cofounder of On Deck Society, leading brand, design, and creative direction for every product in the suite. He owns the visual language of Love On Deck, Friends On Deck, Vibes On Deck, Everything On Deck, and Forge On Deck.

Aaron and Pacifico have been business partners for years, first at a Montana holding company where Pacifico served as COO and hired Aaron as Creative Director, then as independent marketing consultants. They're best friends, they live in the same city, and they've been building things together long enough to know exactly what the other one means with half a sentence.

Based in Phoenix, Arizona.
