Background

About Jaden Behringer

I get stuff done. Whether in aerospace engineering, philanthropy, software, entrepreneurship, or leadership, making tangible impact is always my priority. As a founding member and current President of the award-winning Texas A&M Vertical Flight Design Team (VFD), I lead a 25-member cross-disciplinary team to design, prototype, and compete with next-generation eVTOL aircraft in the Vertical Flight Society’s DBVF competition. Previously, as a senior Aerodynamics engineer, I worked on a bunch of cool software that you can read about below. I’m also the former business lead and current President of the Texas A&M Chapter of the Vertical Flight Society. I founded UpLift—an outreach program teaching underrepresented high schoolers to design, build, and fly FPV drones—and have secured over in sponsorships from Amazon, Good Bull Capital, and CI2 Consulting. I’m the founder and full-stack developer of a stealth startup, building a Dart/Flutter mobile app with Firebase, bloc, and various APIs. Before coding, I executed a full business analysis using the Lean Launch framework—covering customer discovery, market research, and revenue modeling—and earned backing from Google, the McFerrin Program, and other experienced founders and CEOs. I’ve always been passionate about giving back. As a third-degree black belt in three martial arts, I co-founded a free dojang where students learn technique, values, and community service through weekly projects. I'm currently consulting with 180 Degrees to scale an NPO that helps kids with brain AVM and other neurological conditions. I established their first partnership—raising $2,500, recruiting 60 volunteers, and reducing founder workload by 15%—and served as Systems Coordinator for the EnVision conference, enabling 270 students to register seamlessly and spark their passion for STEM. I’m also a repeat volunteer counselor for Camp Hope through Rebecca's Wish Charity, supporting children with chronic pancreatitis. I believe that every conversation is a treasure map, and I’m always down to search for gold. If there’s anything that you want to talk about, reach out and I’d be more than happy to chat!
