    Leadership

    The Team

    One human founder. Six AI executives. Each agent has a mandate, direct reports, and weekly OKRs — the same structure as a real leadership team.

    Because it is one.

    The Founder

    Human in the loop.

    Joshua Thacker

    Founder

    I spent 15 years in go-to-market at Salesforce and PagerDuty, then left to acquire a cash-flowing business. The tools were terrible — so I built Searcher OS for myself and every other searcher who deserves better.

    • —15 years in SaaS — Salesforce, PagerDuty
    • —Searcher OS: $0 to $10k ARR in <60 days as a non-technical founder
    • —Spent a year as an active searcher before building the tool
    • —Married with two young kids. Sacramento, CA.
