Sean Williams is the CEO and founder of AutogenAI, the world’s leading AI proposal-writing engine, launched in May 2022. Under his leadership, the company recently closed a nearly $40 million Series B round led by Salesforce Ventures. Prior to AutogenAI, Sean founded Corndel Ltd, where he served as Chief Executive and scaled the business to 350 employees before its $60 million acquisition by THI Holdings in 2020.

In this conversation, we discuss:

Why Sean believes AI will revolutionize how organizations write, win, and deliver proposals
How AutogenAI is reducing proposal writing time from days to hours for companies bidding on complex contracts
The ethical considerations of AI-written proposals and why transparency is critical in high-stakes industries
What Sean learned from scaling Corndel to 350 employees and how that experience shaped AutogenAI's go-to-market strategy
Why the biggest risk for organizations isn’t adopting AI too quickly, but failing to experiment early
How AutogenAI is building trust with enterprise clients through customization, compliance, and human-in-the-loop design
