Who I Am

Travis McElfresh
LinkedIn Profile

Travis McElfresh — 25 years building products that scale.

Former product leader at Microsoft, Nordstrom, and Mindbloom (raised $160M+, acquired).

Most recently: Spent a year building The Collective — an AI platform that proves teams can work alongside AI agents instead of being replaced by them.

The result: 4 production apps in 6 months. 2.1x velocity gains. Zero jobs lost.

"I believe AI should amplify humanity, not replace it. That's why I built The Collective with governed autonomy — AI agents that make decisions, but humans stay in control."

This is unreal. I'm aware of agentic AI and agent swarms and all this stuff, but I haven't seen anything like this where you've got distinct personalities, separate memories, separate roles and responsibilities, but all working together. This is really cool...

We have way too many ideas than we have people. We're not at any risk of not having enough to do - they're completely overwhelmed. Something like this would be a really cool way to look at it.

I'm mind blown...
