How to develop your side hustle into a business. What is AI and did you know you already use it. How to scale a business - Guest CK Lee Tech Entrepreneur Founder Taggun & TagTeam AI

CK started Taggun in 2017 as a side gig to automate receipt scanning for other tech companies. In 2020, I quit my job as a software engineer and went full time into the business. I am very thankful to be able to create a bootstrapped lifestyle business that’s profitable. Soon after, a series of events made CK realise that it’s hard for a bootstrapped company to compete for and retain top talents. My ultimate goal is to work with a great team, creating great products. So in 2021, he started a new venture - TagTeam - to offer “no-training/no-fuss” AI integrations for other tech companies. In today's episode, we discuss:  What is AI How AI can help SME How we already integrate AI into our everyday workflow without really knowing it Challenges of a tech startup Why having an accountability partner can help keep you on task. How to manage challenging situations as a startup Why you should consider not going all in until you have tested your idea and have confidence backed by data, insights and time Creating a process that can be repeated by someone else is very important for a business to grow.
