"I founded my startup, Forage, around 18 months ago. Besides myself, I have one full-time employee who has been with the company for eight months. My business is in the marketing technology space, and I needed someone with a deep connection to modern culture and social media. So, I hired a 24-year-old growth and brand specialist from my neighborhood. She's a college graduate with less than two years of experience, whom I started mentoring."
"The challenge with hiring someone more junior is that they often lack the skills to translate their intuition into a business strategy. But over the last six months, especially since the launch of Gemini 3, we've been able to leverage AI to significantly expand the capabilities of my junior employee. Business Insider wants to talk to founders of AI-powered companies with fewer than 10 workers, and employees working alongside AI agents and bots,"
Charles Swann founded Forage around 18 months ago in Boulder, CO and runs the company with one full-time employee who joined eight months ago. The business operates in marketing technology and focuses on helping brands understand social media trends. Swann hired a 24-year-old growth and brand specialist with under two years' experience and began mentoring her. The employee has intuitive knowledge of influencer and brand relationships but initially lacked skills to translate intuition into business strategy. Over the past six months, especially after Gemini 3 launched, AI has been used to expand her capabilities, turning Gemini 3 into a co-creator and reducing supervisory time.
