A Northern California entrepreneur and investor building across beverages, home services, media, and small-business support. Founder of Vibe Drink LLC, CEO of Gold State News, and the founder who grew Shingle Shield USA from nothing into a multi-million-dollar operation — now mentoring the next wave of business owners.
Caiden Williford is a Northern California entrepreneur and investor whose work spans several industries — from consumer beverages to home services, digital media, and small-business support. He is the founder of Vibe Drink LLC and CEO of Gold State News, a premier news agency spotlighting new local business owners across California.
Alongside these, Caiden owns Shingle Shield USA and DC Surface Cleaning, and is a co-owner of Online Aid Pros LLC. He started building Shingle Shield USA at just 19 years old and, now 21, has grown it from nothing into a multi-million-dollar operation with multiple locations and expanding territories.
Beyond his own companies, Caiden invests in and mentors new business owners, and is always looking for growth and new people to build with. His companies are headquartered in Redding and Sacramento, California.
Caiden's proudest venture is Shingle Shield USA. He started it at just 19 and, through fast growth and relentless execution, built it into a multi-million-dollar operation generating millions of dollars a year.
Today the company is expanding its territories and operating across multiple locations — a business built from the ground up before the age of 21.
