I get brands named in AI answers | Founder at SearchD | CEO at Runbear
I am the CEO and co-founder of Runbear, and the founder of SearchD, our answer engine optimization practice. Runbear helps teams work with AI agents the way they would work with a new hire. No code, no flowcharts. We have sold to 500+ US companies. SearchD came out of something we did not plan. Most of those US customers found us because an AI assistant named us, not because they clicked an ad. We worked out which parts caused it, and then learned the expensive version of the lesson: when we stopped doing those things, the inbound funnel stopped too. Not slowly. It stopped. SearchD does that work for other companies. We help Asian brands that are trusted at home and invisible in the US get named when buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews for a recommendation. We measure one number: how many of twenty buyer questions name the client. What we will not claim is a guaranteed citation, because nobody can. Before Runbear, I founded and exited two startups, one acquired by Kakao and one by Buzzvil, where I served as Chief Architect and Chief Product Officer. I have led products from zero to scale, across consumer and B2B. Techstars '24 taught me how to build a venture-scale business in the US, from validation through go-to-market and fundraising. Seoul National University trained me to solve hard problems with technology. If your brand is trusted at home and invisible in the US, that gap is the work I do now. searchd.ai
