Julian Schoen, Head of Platform at Echelon AI
We've just raised $4.75m from Bain Capital Ventures to automate IT services with AI Developers.
I built Open Browser, an open-source autonomous web browsing framework with 8.9k+ GitHub stars that gives AI agents full control of a browser to complete tasks on any website.
Previously:
- Senior Software Engineer at Chai Research, serving 1.8M+ daily users
- Built algorithmic trading systems handling $10M+ daily volume
- Created 10x, an AI coding agent with 1.3k+ GitHub stars
I believe:
- Work with relentless intensity toward meaningful outcomes
- Radical honesty about weaknesses accelerates growth
- Consistent 1% improvements compound into breakthrough results
- Principled decision-making trumps short-term convenience
- Speed of iteration beats perfection of planning
