Co-Founder and CEO at AutoManus.io
Building AutoManus.io to automate sales leads for customized products using AI.
Intro
I'm Sean Chen, the Co-Founder and CEO of AutoManus.io, where we're building AI Sales Leads Managers for customized products. My journey has taken me from being a Data Scientist at Google and Sam's Club to the '0 to 1' world of startups, including time with Antler and Character Labs. I’m deeply passionate about the 'Founder Mode' philosophy and leveraging AI agents to replace manual service workflows. Beyond the technical side of AI and product growth, I'm a YouTuber with a community of over 10,000 subscribers. I love deep conversations and am always happy to chat about CRM automation, SaaS, or even our favorite arcs in One Piece and Pokémon. I’m here to share what I’ve learned about shipping products and to connect with others in the startup and VC space who believe you can learn and build anything.
