Our story
Built to close the gap between AI excitement and useful change.
Founder Loren Horsager first encountered AI in financial markets in 1993, then spent decades building software products, startups, and practical technology systems across industries.
Early AI exposure.
Loren's early work with AI and machine learning shaped a long-running interest in how intelligent systems can support better decisions and stronger organizations.
Generative AI changes the opportunity.
As AI tools became widely available, many organizations had access to powerful technology but still lacked the operating know-how to apply it well.
Training plus implementation.
Model Mind exists to help teams move beyond demos and experiments into trained capability, practical workflows, and measurable progress.
