Mike Yan is the co-founder and CEO of ManyChat, which is currently helping over 1 million businesses in 190 countries around the world revolutionize how they communicate with their customers. At the core of Manychat is the ability to enable businesses to leverage Messenger by Facebook, Instagram Automation, SMS, and email for marketing, sales, and support. There’s a revolution underway that’s reshaping how businesses around the world interact with their customers, and Mike Yan is leading the charge. As the co-founder and CEO of ManyChat, he’s made it his goal to disrupt the $5BN+ email marketing industry by bringing the convenience of messenger apps to business-to-customer communication. The story of ManyChat traces its roots back to 2015. Messaging apps were taking off around the world, and Mike was hard at work trying to write a script that could automate marketing messages to Telegram’s 65M users. The idea had potential, but he’d hit a wall — what had appeared to be a simple concept on the surface required a maze of complex code to execute.  Mike knew that if you can’t get around a wall, you go over it. So he came up with an even bigger, bolder idea: a visual-based platform that would allow anyone to create dynamic and engaging chat automations, all without needing to be a coding wizard. A few months later, ManyChat was born.  Fast forward to today, and ManyChat has exploded into the #1 Chat Marketing platform in the world. The tools Mike first imagined back in 2015 are now employed by nearly two million businesses in 190 countries, driving sales, qualifying leads, and nurturing customer relationships.
