From AI Skeptic to Advocate and How it Informed Tines’ Product Roadmap

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is
joined by SaaStock Europe 2024 speaker Eoin Hinchy, Co-Founder
& CEO at Tines, who shares how he went from AI skeptic to
advocate and how it informed Tines' roadmap. "I can't tell you how
many times over the years I've made a better decision as it relates
to a certain part of the business because I've had to do it
firsthand myself. At some stage I knew what the problem was and I
knew how hard it was or I was able to appreciate the challenges
that these kind of new hires were experiencing because I had done
it firsthand. So I think founders should almost do like every job
for like a little bit just to get that experience." Eoin shares: -
How they got tier one investors for Tines' Series A and Series B
rounds, totalling ~$115 million - Why, at one point or another, all
founders *should* wear every hat - AI meets snake oil: why the
early days put him off - The two biggest things stopping AI from
being transformative - How as CEO he maintains the energy to
constantly want to grow and learn and more.
