About this episode

In this episode of Tech Teams Today, we sat down with Jordan Nemrow, Co-Founder and CTO of Woflow, to explore how a single Facebook post led to a Chrome extension, a co-founder, an investor—and eventually a scalable AI-powered data platform used across food delivery and commerce.

Jordan shares how Woflow tackles the massive challenge of structuring unstructured data at scale, and why automation + human-in-the-loop remains their competitive edge. He also reflects on the hardest part of engineering leadership—delegation, and how they rebuilt team culture from the ground up in a remote-first world.

Some topics covered include:
- From side project to startup: the automation story behind Woflow
- Why HITL (human-in-the-loop) still beats full AI autonomy at scale
- The 90/90 rule for software delivery that every tech lead should know
- How Woflow fixed remote culture
- Lessons on hiring, trust, and transitioning from CEO to CTO

Whether you're scaling a product, leading engineering teams, or building AI into operations—this episode is packed with insights that go beyond the usual playbook.
