Vals just raised $40 million to fix AI benchmarking. If you've ever picked an AI tool based on a leaderboard score, the testing system was probably broken before you started.

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Hey, I'm Mark!

I started Laimen AI after watching too many small businesses in Austin waste money on tools they never used. I've spent years in consulting, nonprofit work with the Flatwater.org, and building Giant Abroad. The common thread? Helping people stop overcomplicating things.

Ever since I've been able to combine real business experience with AI, I've helped dozens of companies actually get results, including some cool stuff like:

Built AI voice agents handling 500+ calls/month for service businesses

Cut client follow-up time by 80% with automated CRM workflows

Helped businesses go from zero AI to fully integrated in under 30 days
