Agency
Adverds Network
The networking agency I co-founded and run as CEO. We connect founders, brands, and operators — then turn those rooms into deals, distribution, and long-term partnerships.

Dougie Labs
My tech company. We design, ship, and scale software products — including the MayDougie fitness app — and back early-stage startups from the inside.
Fitness brand
May Dougie
My fitness brand. Training apparel, nutrition, and recovery — the same name as the person, because I actually wear and use it.
App
MayDougie
My personal fitness app. Programs, tracking, and the exact training system I use — so fans train with the same structure, not a generic gym plan.

CEO
Adverds Network
I co-founded Adverds as a networking agency for operators who are tired of empty mixers. We curate rooms, introductions, and campaigns that actually move pipeline — for startups, consumer brands, and media talent.
As CEO I run the P&L, the roster, and the standard: every introduction has a reason. The agency is the cash-flow engine and the proof that the personal brand is not a performance — it is a business.

About
Operator first.
Personality second.
I'm May Dougie — entrepreneur, CEO and Co-founder of Adverds Network. I don't sell hours. I build companies: a tech studio, a fitness brand, a training app, and a networking agency that puts the right people in the same room.
The through-line is performance. I train, I ship product, I back startups, and I hold the same standard across all of it. If you want a freelancer, this is the wrong site. If you want a partner, a product, or a seat in the network — keep reading.

What operators say
"Adverds didn't send me to another mixer. They put me in a room with three people who actually write checks. We closed a seed round off one dinner."
"May treats the body like a company. The MayDougie app is the first program I've stuck to as a founder because it's built around real days, not gym-bro fantasy."
"Dougie Labs came in as a technical co-pilot, not a vendor. They shipped the product, sat in the board meetings, and still held the standard in the gym."
