    2 - Can One Employee Generate $10M ARR with a Swarm of AI Agents? Amos Bar-Joseph, CEO of Swan AI

    In this episode, Lior sits down with Amos Bar-Joseph, co-founder and CEO of Swan AI, a two-time exited founder who is now building a radically different, AI-native company. Amos shares his vision for the “Autonomous Business”, an operating model designed to achieve an unprecedented $10M in ARR per employee, powered not by a traditional salesforce but by a sophisticated network of AI agents. He goes on to detail how Swan AI’s three-person team has already built a fully automated go-to-market engine that generated $1M in ARR in just nine weeks, powered by AI agents like “Shakespeare” (content creation), “The Observer” (lead intelligence), and “The Connector” (automated outreach).  Along the way, he also breaks down the critical distinction between simple automation and true autonomous agents — and why designing with human-in-the-loop and feedback mechanisms is key to unlocking the 100x version of your team. This conversation offers a look into the future of lean, hyper-efficient startups, where growth is driven not by headcount, but by intelligence.
