With a background in engineering and cloud infrastructure for Fortune 500 companies, Shawn brings a builder's mindset to every engagement. His foundation was built on writing Javascript and Python scripts to automate IT tasks, and has evolved into designing end-to-end systems using tools like n8n and Claude to unlock measurable ROI for operations-heavy teams. Today, he's all-in on AI - integrating Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI into business workflows.

John Unser

John Unser

Co-Founder

On paper, John's experience is centered around building high-performing revenue teams at VC-backed SaaS companies. But between the lines, he's an automation expert who is energized by building with AI. While scaling revenue teams, John found that the largest efficiency gains often came from optimizing his team's backend processes. So he spent much of his time building AI-based systems for his teams. He's built inbound lead scoring systems, cold email infrastructure, automated CRM enrichment, and complex internal workflows using tools like n8n, Clay, and Claude Code to wire it all together. He's well-versed across a wide range of softwares and tools, and his curiosity drives him to learn new systems constantly.
