The $30M Playbook Part 1: How to Build an Autonomous Business with 3 People and AI Agents

Part 1: The Autonomous Business Revolution with Amos Bar Joseph (Coach K Interview)Podcast Description

Join Coach K (Jonathan Kvarfordt) for an energetic conversation with his friend Amos Bar Joseph, CEO of Swan AI (getswan.ai), who's rewriting the startup playbook by building to $30M ARR with just three founders and AI agents. After burning out on the traditional "unicorn playbook" through two successful exits, Amos shares his revolutionary approach to scaling with intelligence instead of headcount. This episode features a deep dive into Swan's actual AI agent ecosystem, controversial takes on popular GTM tools, and a practical framework for implementing AI in any business.

• Companies focus on "valuation inflation" over value creation
• The VC route makes founders forget customers and employees
• Building on "sick foundations" by scaling before product-market fit

"I'm sick of the unicorn playbook... It hasn't changed for the last 15 years. It's outdated, it's not relevant for 2025."

"They forget about their customers. They forget about their employees, they forget about how to build a company."

• AI will create MORE jobs, not fewer
• Hundreds of thousands of new autonomous businesses will emerge
• SMBs can now compete at enterprise scale

"A three person team could achieve what took a 1000 team before that."
