Meet the founders.

William Coburn is Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Psyntient. He leads product direction for the Noetic Archive and the broader effort to build shared infrastructure for consciousness research.

His focus is turning a fragmented research problem into a usable system: preserving paired physiological and first-person evidence, making it citable, and testing whether recurring structures of experience can be mapped responsibly over time.

Peter Gold is Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Psyntient, where he leads growth, partnerships, and go-to-market strategy.

He brings over 30 years of experience in digital marketing, ecommerce & brand building across multiple industries. As former Global CMO at SHOP.COM, he scaled annual revenue from approximately $400M to over $2B.

Peter co-founded an incubator and accelerator with Daymond John. He is now focused on helping Psyntient validate and scale its business model at the intersection of AI, neuroscience, and consciousness research.

Woodley Brown is Co-Founder and Chief Ethics & Governance Officer at Psyntient, where he leads the development of the company's ethical, regulatory, and institutional frameworks. His work focuses on ensuring that Psyntient's technologies—at the intersection of AI, neuroscience, and subjective experience—are responsibly designed, accurately represented, and aligned with emerging standards in human-centered innovation.

He holds an M.A. in Bioethics from New York University and an M.Sc. in Philosophy of Cognitive Science from the University of Edinburgh. His academic work has focused on trust in emerging technologies and the structure of subjective experience, shaping his approach to governance in next-generation systems.

Woodley is particularly interested in how systems that deepen self-understanding and shared meaning can support human development and coordination at scale—creating the conditions for more aligned outcomes in both human and AI-driven environments.
