The person behind Ovoras.
A bit of background
Ovoras is built by one person who did the work himself first, the hard way and entirely self-taught, before turning it into a company for other people.
Aiden grew up on a farm that kept as many as fifty horses at its peak, along with nine dogs, three cats and a small flock of birds. It was a hardworking household with no financial surplus to speak of, and by eight years old he had already decided he wanted a different life than the one that was normalised around him: not comfortable, but genuinely his own. His grandfather was the person who showed him what building something properly actually looks like. They built a go-kart from scratch together in the farm workshop, and a tree house that got knocked down and rebuilt, better, more than once, because his grandfather always helped him make it rather than making it for him.
He started building income online at fourteen, entirely self-taught from a secondhand laptop: editing videos for gaming channels, designing thumbnails for other creators, doing small paid tech-support jobs for elderly neighbours, and later trying his hand at NFT art. A family friend who ran a cryptocurrency company, and who happened to drive a Porsche up the farm's dirt road one afternoon, gave him a small weekly job maintaining a company newsletter in Python. The pay was modest. The access wasn't, and it was proximity to that world, more than anything else, that led him to discover trading at fifteen and know almost immediately that markets were the industry he'd build his working life around.
At eighteen, instead of starting university, he gave trading a full year of undivided, full-time attention and treated it exactly like a professional job: fixed hours, tracked results, and a trading journal kept with total honesty about every mistake. By nineteen, that year of work had built enough of a track record that a small group of people, family and friends among them, trusted him to manage real capital. Ovoras grew out of the same instinct that got him there: build things properly, learn by doing, and keep going even when the results aren't visible from the outside yet.
The long version
Six years, in six parts.
The short version is above. The honest, full-length one is told properly in the book below.
- 01
The farm
Fifty horses, a workshop, and a grandfather who never built anything for him that he could build himself. The first lesson in doing the work rather than performing it.
- 02
Self-taught, at fourteen
Video editing, thumbnail design, tech support for neighbours who needed it, NFT art. None of it was the business. All of it was the search for one.
- 03
The ceiling that moved
A family friend's Porsche on the farm's dirt road, and a small newsletter job that paid little and taught a lot, put him in the room where he discovered trading at fifteen.
- 04
The gap year
At eighteen, a full year of trading treated like a real job: fixed hours, a brutally honest journal, and no university deferral to fall back on if it didn't work.
- 05
$80,000, at nineteen
A track record built the hard way earned him the trust of a small group of investors, family and friends among them, and a real trading desk.
- 06
Losing it, and starting again
What happened next is the part the book tells properly. What followed was a return to manual labour, an honest accounting of every mistake, and a decision not to stop building.

The Journey To Success
A story about discipline, risk, failure, and ambition.
Before Ovoras, Aiden spent years teaching himself trading, entrepreneurship, video editing, cryptocurrency and online business, mostly from a secondhand laptop, with no blueprint and no connections to fall back on.
At nineteen, that self-taught path led to something bigger: he was trusted with $80,000 in funding from a small group of investors, and the sleepless nights it took to raise it as a teenager nobody had a reason to bet on yet.
What happened to it isn't the part he tells at parties. It's the part he wrote the book to tell honestly instead: the specific decision that cost the money, the weeks it took to become undeniable, and what he did next, which was not walk away. For months afterward he was back doing physical farm labour for a few hundred dollars a month while rebuilding the same skill in the evenings, on the same secondhand laptop, one honest journal entry at a time.
That rebuild, and the discipline it forced, is the direct reason Ovoras is built the way it is: properly, with the infrastructure and the checks in place from the start, rather than bolted on after something breaks.
“The gap between where you are and where you want to be is closed by doing something with the circumstances you already have.”Read the story on Amazon
How that shapes the work
Rebuilding properly leaves a mark on how you build the next thing.
“Rock bottom is not the end of the story. It is the foundation for the next chapter.” That's as true of a business as it is of a person, and it's the reason Ovoras is run the way it is: real structure before real scale, honest numbers over impressive-looking ones, and no client relationship treated as smaller than the one that funded a trading desk at nineteen.
“Define success for yourself before the world defines it for you.” Same idea, applied to clients: Ovoras starts every project by working out what success actually looks like for that specific business, rather than defaulting to whatever looks good in a portfolio.
