Episode description

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Sean Languedoc, Founder and CEO of Outforce AI.

Sean recounts his unconventional start in business, inspired by advice to "learn by doing" instead of pursuing an MBA. He shares his experience launching a tourism venture during Expo 86 in Vancouver, which taught him the value of adaptability when the business didn’t take off as expected. From there, Sean explored various industries, including commercial real estate and digital media, with each venture teaching him new lessons about scaling, market fit, and the importance of pivoting when initial strategies faced challenges.

Sean also discusses how these experiences eventually led to the creation of Outforce.ai, which helps entrepreneurs connect with specialized outsourcing agencies. Drawing from personal frustrations in finding the right engineering talent and outsourcing partners, Sean explains the value of selecting agencies based on tech stack, availability, and cultural fit. With a database of 79,000 agencies, Outforce.ai streamlines the process for startups looking to build products efficiently without sacrificing equity. Sean emphasizes that the right outsourcing partnership can bridge gaps in early-stage development, enabling founders to focus on product-market fit and scale their ventures.
