- Entrepreneurship
In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Ryan Janssen, CEO and Co-Founder of Zenlytic, a business intelligence tool for commerce brands that's raised $5.4 Million in funding, about why siloed data can obscure all kinds of critical business insights, and how automation with a human touch can help everyone get a better idea of what’s going on. With an easy-to-access portal for deep diving into a company’s data, assisted by Zoe the natural language interface, Zenlytic promises enterprise-grade business intelligence and insights you can really trust.
We also speak about why Ryan considers himself a true nerd, his career moving back and forth between the engineering and venture investment space, having a front-row seat for the development of today’s large language models, why Zenlytic decided to target primarily commerce-oriented companies, and why getting their product in front of people as quickly as possible is the core of their sales strategy.
Topics Discussed:
Ryan’s background between software engineering and the venture capital space, and why he considers himself a true ‘nerd’
Studying at ‘AI school,’ and having a front-row seat for the development of today’s iconic large language models
Why data is only as good as the tools you have to make sense of it, and the Zenlytic value proposition as a business intelligence platform
Zenlytics AI-powered data analyst and the advantage of having a fully accessible business intelligence system available 24/7
Why getting their product in front of people with a demo is Zenlytic’s preferred sales strategy, and how they make it happen
