Intercom's goal is to reinvent customer service with AI agents replacing human agents over the next 10 years. 10 Questions with One of the Largest Private Company CEO's: AI Investing: Why will most AI investments not do better than the S&P 500? Building SaaS Tools with AI: Why is it crazy for companies to follow Klarna and use AI to build their own tools? Going Public: Why is Bill Gurley wrong that more later stage companies should go public? Why did Intercom shelve plans to go public in 2022? Early-Stage is F*******: Why is the early-stage venture ecosystem as an asset class f******? Founder Mode: Why does Eoghan believe all of the best founders are unbalanced? What is the difference between Founder vs Manager mode? Political Voice: Why did Eoghan decide he had to voice his political opinions now? The Danger of Harris: Why does Eoghan believe a Harris administration would rob the US of immense freedom, democracy and civil liberty? Why Vote Trump: Why does Eoghan believe that Trump will regain immense freedom for the sovereign individual? Freedom of Speech: How does Eoghan determine right vs wrong when freedom of speech leads to harm and injustice? Middle East and Nuclear War: Why does Eoghan believe that nuclear war is much closer than we think? Will we see the Middle East descend into war?
