Lance Ennen
Founder and Technology Writer
Lance Ennen is a software entrepreneur and technical co-founder who has spent two decades building products for startups and Fortune 100 companies — including taking Factor75 from its first line of code to a $277M acquisition. Today he runs an AI-native development practice where autonomous coding agents, orchestrated with OpenClaw, work alongside humans in Slack, planning meetings, and demos. He writes about artificial intelligence, autonomous agents, digital identity, stablecoins, and emerging infrastructure from a builder and operator perspective.
What I Cover
How I Work
LanceEnnen.com is an independent publication. Reporting draws on primary sources — official announcements, technical documentation, and events I attend in person — and firsthand observations are clearly distinguished from researched analysis. I disclose when I have a commercial interest in a company or technology I write about.
