James Hotson's Linkedin Analytics

I've spent over a decade building Al solutions that empower businesses to work smarter, not harder. As Co-Founder of Katara Al, I'm leading a team to create Al agents that streamline workflows, cut costs, and drive growth for businesses of all sizes. My entrepreneurial journey started with a fascination for Al's potential to solve real-world problems, leading me be the founding AE at an Al marketing platform that scaled to $14M ARR before its acquisition by Constant Contact. Later, I built an Al support bot adopted by billion dollar brands like Crate and Barrel, acquired by Gladly for its impact on customer service. What gets me out of bed? The chance to make Al accessible and transformative for every business. At Katara Al, we're not just automating tasks-we're unlocking new possibilities for efficiency and innovation. My experience as a 2x exited executive fuels my passion for mentoring startups and shape the future of Al.
