Ian Randolph Top-Executive

Most founders try to get traction by shipping more features or hustling for more growth. Few understand that traction is a behavior-change problem, or the behavioral science that drives their customers' decisions to adopt or avoid their product.I spent five years learning the principles that empirically shift human behavior at Yale, the LSE, and with DARPA. Then fifteen years testing them in the wild, shipping 8 zero-to-one AI products across 7 industries, contributing to 5 raises and 2 exits, including Trainline's £2Bn IPO.This culminated in the hardest adoption challenge of all: pivoting a stalled SaaS product into the world's first AI CFO, and winning early product-market fit by getting founders to trust an AI with their finances.Now I help seed-stage AI founders find the real reason people aren't adopting their product and fix it fast, so they walk into their next board meeting with the numbers their Series A needs.If your product isn't taking off and you can't say exactly why, book a free 30-minute call at ianrandolph.com
