Guest Bio
Amos Bar-Joseph is the Co-Founder and CEO of Swann, the first autonomous business platform built for human-AI collaboration. Before Swann, Amos founded two startups that followed the traditional unicorn playbook, raising money and scaling fast, but ultimately revealed the flaws in that model. At Swann, he’s pioneering a new go-to-market approach that scales with intelligence, not headcount. Amos has built a personal brand of over 70,000 followers on LinkedIn in just six months and generates $1.5M in pipeline monthly through content alone.
