Adii Pienaar is an entrepreneur, husband, and very new father; the combination of these roles resulting in an epic and challenging journey. Unlike the bio's of most serial entrepreneurs, Adii is (as at the time of this going to press) a one-hit wonder with his role as co-founder of WooThemes. That status isn't for a lack of trying either; it's just that the other attempts lost more money than they made.

Adii is a bit of a rebel at heart (in his previous online iteration, he dubbed himself as Adii Rockstar) and absolutely loves challenges. His latest, professional challenge is getting rid of the one-hit wonder moniker and moving to the higher echelons of serial entrepreneurship. As such, you'll always find Adii dabbling in the odd side-project (such as, The Rockstar Foundation), advising/mentoring, other startup founders, or getting his toes wet in angel investing. He further harbors the dream of being an A-list blogger and has even tried to augment that reputation by publishing his debut book—Rockstar Business.

Adii believes that there is a fine balance between ambition, working hard, and spending time on the important things in life. As a result, he has recently realized that he actually wants to work less instead of more without having to compromise on his goals and ambitions in life. Add all of these ingredients into one life and you find yourself watching a startup/entrepreneurs-version of The Bold & The Beautiful.
