Tim's Bio:

"Someday all software will learn and every day brings us closer to that day. It is important that it learns in a way that builds up the human race rather than tries to shape or control it for the enrichment or empowerment of a few."

Tim Estes founded Digital Reasoning in college and have been its CEO throughout most of its development, and exiting after 20+ years at the helm in 2021. Digital Reasoning built software to automate understanding of structured and unstructured data based on a distinctive, patented mathematical approach to understanding natural language and leverages distributed computing technologies to make these analytics work effectively on Big Data. Digital Reasoning served the Defense, Intelligence, Financial, Enterprise Risk, and Health Care markets with solutions.

Tim was one of the first AI founders to really build a business helping institutions and governments generate and create value from all of the data at their disposal. He is a brilliant entrepreneur, mission driven and has a wealth of knowledge and passion in helping other founders navigate the treacheries of entrepreneurship.
