From a young age, Jordan Elliott immersed himself in the worlds of engineering and psychology—two disciplines that would quietly shape his entrepreneurial lens. Using everyday materials found around the house, he began building mini engineering projects in the family garage. “It wasn’t just building stuff,” he reflects, “It was me trying to solve things I didn’t even know were problems yet.”

Later, Jordan turned his curiosity into action—his first official business was a book venture. “I put together a whole bookstore… not one book sold.” What followed were 15 more failed attempts across different industries, each becoming a private case study in learning, experimentation, and resilience.

Then came his 16th try: Vigilshore, which quickly became the world’s first self-serve risk management ecosystem for punters, traders, and everyday spenders—earning recognition for merging over $2.5 trillion worth of industries into one accessible platform.
