Enrico Palmerino founded botkeeper to focus on the software solution for bookkeeping by using artificial intelligence. Enrico started his first company ThinkLite while attending college at Babson. ThinkLite is a lighting designer, manufacturer, and installer that allows customers to pay for lighting solutions as a percentage of their savings with no upfront costs. After ThinkLite, Enrico was co-owner and managing director at SmartBooks and eventually founded botkeeper. In 2011, Bloomberg Businessweek named him second in the Top 25 Entrepreneurs Under 25 and he has also had both of his previous companies named to The Inc. 5000 and The Inc. 500, respectively.

In this episode, Enrico talks about:

Artificial intelligence: what scares him the most for its future, what excites him the most for its future, and resources for people who are new to artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Lessons he learned at his previous companies that he’s applied at botkeeper

What drives him and what he believes makes an entrepreneur successful

Why you shouldn’t be nervous to have a bot handle your company’s books
