In this episode of the Alosant Innovator Series, we sit down with Mike Swanson, Co-Founder of Alosant. Throughout the episode we explore Mike’s journey to the company and delve into the origin and purpose of DataBridgeAI, a new product from Alosant.
Mike shares valuable insights from his diverse career—spanning the music industry, medical research, and ultimately co-founding Alosant. A common thread throughout his journey is a passion for developing innovative solutions that foster connections between people.
Mike explains that Alosant was founded out of a desire to solve core community challenges. Inspired by Paul Johnson of Rancho Mission Viejo, Mike and April sought to leverage technology to enhance, rather than replace, in-person connections. This philosophy continues to guide Alosant’s work as they identify friction points in communities and use thoughtful technology-based solutions to resolve them.
A key part of the conversation focuses on AI and its role in the industry. Mike emphasizes that tech companies should never push businesses to adopt AI in ways that feel inauthentic or conflict with their established operations. Instead, AI should be used to develop agreed-upon solutions that truly serve residents and community teams.
This segues into Mike introducing the latest innovation at Alosant: DataBridge AI. This tool leverages AI to mine data, connecting residents with experiences they’ll love. By consolidating siloed data across the homebuilding, land development, and property management teams, DataBridge AI connects residents with meaningful, curated experiences.
Throughout the episode, gain valuable insights and philosophies on the industry from an innovative thinker, and explore Alosant’s new resident-centered, data-informed solutions.
