S3 E5: From Early App Store Pioneer to a Mobile AI Acquisition: The Nami ML Story with Dan Burcaw

Subscription prompts at the "learned" time
Tech and entrepreneurship has always been super intertwined in Dan Burcaw's life - through his family, and starting to tinker with computers in the 90's. He played Baseball when he was younger, along with playing video games and interestingly enough.. keeping up with foreign policy (is that a hobby?). Currently, Dan studies Brazilian Jujitsu and its endless progress of growth and evolvement, while taking care of his 2 pets (and their 3 eyes... you'll have to ask him). His prior company was in the push notifications world, which became a mission critical system for notifications, ultimately bought by Oracle. Afterwards, he and his co-founder started looking at the way people monetize their apps, specifically diving into subscriptions. In doing so, they found out that there weren't many app millionaires in existence - so, they set out to build a better way to sell subscriptions inside app experiences, not only by abstracting the tech bits, but by using machine learning to prompt users at just the right time. This is the story of Nami ML.
