Paul Benigeri is Co-Founder and CEO of Archive, an AI-powered influencer and UGC marketing platform built to automate e-commerce digital marketing workflows for modern brands.

Paul earned a BS in Computer Science from Stanford University in just three years and spent over six years at HVMN (Health Via Modern Nutrition), rising to VP of Growth and Engineering where he scaled the DTC brand's digital marketing and engineering teams.

Paul's firsthand frustration with manual, repetitive influencer management workflows at his prior company sparked the idea for Archive, driven by a conviction that community-led marketing is the future of e-commerce growth.

Paul co-founded Archive in 2021 alongside Geoffrey Woo, raising an initial $4M seed round led by Stripe and growing total funding to $18M; the platform serves leading brands including Quest, Allbirds, and Hexclad.

Archive grew from fewer than 50 beta customers to over 500 within months of launch, and its AI-powered tools now help brands automate UGC discovery, influencer seeding, content workflows, and competitive benchmarking at scale.
