Josh Wooley- CEH & Founder

Josh Wooley is an accomplished entrepreneur with deep roots in the event rental and local services industries. Years of building and growing a successful event rental business gave him first-hand insight into how local businesses struggle to get discovered, stay visible, and connect with customers at the right moment.

Seeing how technology could transform those challenges into opportunities, Josh shifted his focus toward artificial intelligence and OS for Local Life. He founded LocAite with a simple but powerful goal: to give communities their own digital marketplace, one that connects people and businesses instantly, right where real-world decisions happen.

Under Josh’s leadership, LocAite will evolve into a next-generation platform that helps businesses of all kinds get seen, engaged, and chosen inside the app. While his background began in event rentals, his vision expanded far beyond one industry, creating a system that supports restaurants, services, venues, retailers, and local experiences alike.

Josh is known for combining hands-on business experience with intuitive, forward-thinking problem solving. He has played a central role in shaping LocAite’s operating system for local life, which uses location, activity, and community engagement to surface the right businesses at the right time, creating a more human, more useful local experience.

His journey from running a local business to building a technology platform for local life reflects his belief that strong communities and smart technology belong together. Today, Josh continues to lead LocAite with a focus on innovation, simplicity, and helping local economies grow from the inside out.
