Who You Are:

- You are always searching for meaning- not just in life, but in text.

- You’ve got serious computational linguistics skills. NLP, and AI classifiers
are nothing new to you.

Who We Are:

We’re a small startup that’s receiving some big attention from a few big
players in the AI/Machine Learning space.
We work at a fast pace and we’re picking up speed. We also like to have a
little fun.

The VTS founders are, a serial-entrepreneur/Sr. technology leader, a professor
of linguistics, a Sr. computational linguistics programmer, a Director of
strategy with more than 2 decades in cloud/web-based solutions, and three
part-time sr. software engineers.

What We’re Doing:

We’re changing the world for the, more than 400 million, knowledge workers
that generate high-value documents for organizations around the globe. By
using AI classifiers and providing real-time linguistic analytics, we’re
helping them significantly reduce textual ambiguities and craft linguistically
hardened language in their documents.

Our tech stack includes Java, C#, React.js, .Net, and a few other goodies.

What We’ve Done (So Far):

- Received our software/systems patent in June, 2017
- Awarded over $350,000 in infrastructure credits by global technology
provider. 
- Top-to-bottom redesign of UI/UX 
- EAU launch of a custom interface useful by a channel partner’s 28,000
customer base
- Launched our MS Word Add-in Analytics for MS Store deployment
- Launch of Early Access Users (EAU) program 12/21/2019
- Completed EAU targets 2/29/2020 with 400 registered users

What’s On The Near Horizon:

- Deploying to Serverless Architecture, adding analytics, focused on one
Industrial Area – Technical documents. 
- Seven additional areas identified for 2021 delivery or sooner.
- Moving to commercialization in 3Q2020 or before 
- Presenting to Angel and other investor groups, nationwide
