Jason Tan — CEO
Over the last decade, I built data dashboards and analytics solutions for companies. But frankly, I grew exhausted of building solutions that had little real impact. Then, in 2023, I saw an opportunity. I turned my mundane prospecting routine into a product called Engage AI, and for the first time, I was able to build a tech company. My results: ↳ Grew to 100,000 users worldwide with a small, lean team. ↳ Achieved this without any venture funding. ↳ Became a LinkedIn Top Voice. Few companies are tapping into the real new opportunities with AI. Instead, they just subscribed to general tools like Microsoft Copilot and stopped there. They are missing their chance to become a global tech player. Your company can make the leap and become a tech company, but you must be willing to go where big tech will not. You have to dive deep into a specific niche that is too specialized for them to reach. Work with me and I'll help your company: ↳ Identify opportunities to build AI solutions that solve real problems. ↳ Develop product stickiness, drive adoption and user growth. ↳ Create AI-first products that redefine user experience. You can also start reading how I built and grew Engage AI into a tech company with 100,000 users that had over 500 reviews with a 4.8-star rating on my Substack: → https://jpctan.substack.com I share a candid look at the wins, failures, and lessons from my journey as a bootstrapped solo non-technical founder. My writing covers: ↳ How to strategically assess if a solution is worth building and won't be wiped out by big tech. ↳ How to speak with users and translate their insights into compelling features. ↳ How to growth hack to expand a user base with no marketing budget. ↳ How to understand if you're building a painkiller or a vitamin.
