🚨 What if your business school was built by the founder of YouTube?

Or Waze. Or Shazam.

🎙️ Meet Roy Wellner, cofounder of Augment, the online business school delivering premium courses taught by world-class operators. Augment is rethinking what modern education should actually look like.

🔍 In this episode, we dive into:

👉 Why classic MBA programs aren’t built for founders

👉 The OpenAI insight that made AI literacy a non-negotiable part of Augment

👉 How Augment built a curriculum where students actually finish

👉 Why Roy believes your distribution strategy matters more than your product

💡 Plus: Roy’s reflections on full dedication, raising $2M with just a deck, and building something he wishes he had as a student

Started Papa to care for my grandfather. Today: 7,000 cities, $240M raised.

🎧 On this week’s Zero to One, we sit down with Andrew Parker, Founder & CEO of Papa. It started with a Facebook post and grew into a national care-tech platform trusted by the largest health plans in America, built on grit, scrappiness, and a healthy disregard for startup orthodoxy.

👉 A must-listen for anyone building in healthcare, tech-enabled services, or marketplaces.

🔥 How Papa works and how it got here:

→ A tech-enabled human touch delivering real health outcomes

→ 300k+ trained companions (“Pals”) supporting seniors nationwide

→ An outcome engine tracking impact beyond visits

→ Took the opposite of YC advice, built a “fake” product first

→ Scaled a unicorn from Miami

🎙️ In this episode:

* Why you should start with service before building tech

* How Andrew landed national partnerships before product-market fit

* The surprising TikTok virality that crashed their hiring system

* Why AI is a tool and not a strategy for solving real problems

💡 Plus:
The “resolution ladder” framework for internal decision-making, and the one underrated tactic that helped Papa scale.

$30M ARR. 0 employees. Just 3 founders… and a swarm of AI agents.

Sounds like sci-fi? Meet Amos Bar-Joseph, CEO of Swan AI — and the architect of the most radical GTM model we've seen in years.

🎙️ On the latest Zero to One podcast, Amos breaks down how Swan:

→ Is Scaling to $30M+ ARR with zero headcount

→ Runs 30+ intelligent agents directly inside Slack

→ Converts LinkedIn impressions into pipeline with surgical precision

Forget headcount scaling.

Amos is pioneering “constraint-first growth”: only 3 founders, no hires — every repetitive task goes to an agent.

And it’s working. Swan now serves 50+ B2B clients (Guru, Yotpo...) with no paid ads.

What we cover in the episode:

• How Amos designed his first agent — and what it did

• Why content isn’t a brand play, it’s a pipeline engine

• The architecture behind an autonomous business OS

• What the “100× seller” model actually looks like in the wild

• The tough question: can this scale to 10×… or crack under complexity?

If you’re a founder, GTM leader, or just AI-curious — this one is unmissable.

Would YOU trust AI agents to run your GTM?
