First State Lens is free and always will be. We think practical AI should reach the organizations and people who usually get left behind, not just the ones with the biggest budgets. That belief is why FirmSideAI is priced and built the way it is.
Built by someone who actually ran a business.
FirmSideAI is run by Mark Sanders, who spent 13 years running his own shop before this. Every tool gets one test before it ships. Would it hold up on a busy Tuesday, with the phone ringing and a line at the counter? If it would not survive a real day in a real business, it does not go out the door.
FirmSideAI builds from inside the GrowthStage Incubator at the University of Delaware FinTech Innovation Hub in Newark, alongside the rest of Delaware's founders on the STAR Campus.
