The Smarter.ai story begins with Francesco, Lewis, and David. Although they had yet to join forces, all three were working on impressive projects that would form the basis of the Smarter.ai platform.

While plugging away at their respective careers, all three founders experienced ‘lightbulb’ moments. Come on, we’ve all had them - those magical, almost otherworldly sparks of creation that drive real change. Although their experiences with AI weren’t identical, each founder knew that there were problems in the global marketplace that needed solving.

They understood that businesses were frustrated by the lack of AI technology available to them, with many stating that traditional solutions weren’t fast-moving or innovative enough. As the pandemic forced more companies online than ever before, it was becoming even more difficult for small businesses to compete with large firms that had access to the best technology in the field.

Smarter.ai was little more than a seed at the time, but in late 2020 Fran, Lewis, and David joined forces to build a marketplace that would seamlessly connect the best talent in AI with global businesses. By making AI accessible and easy to use, companies would be able to solve their problems quickly, efficiently, and without excessive cost.

With this ambitious idea in mind, Smarter.ai was born.
