Empowering Traders Daily

Vantagepoint AI just celebrated it’s 40th year in business. It was was founded in 1979 by Louis Mendelsohn who is still actively involved in the firm, however he has transferred the leadership of the company to Lane Mendelsohn, his son.

Since their inception, Vantagepoint AI have been focused primarily on developing software to assist individual traders and investors in becoming more successful by giving them tools, indicators, and information to help them make the right decisions at the right times. Going into further detail, Lane begins by informing us of how the fintech firm focuses on using artificial intelligence.

“Here at Vantagepoint AI, we focus on utilizing artificial intelligence to analyze massive quantities of data, sifting through very complex market relationships and linkages to determine how certain markets can affect other markets, as well as how certain stocks can affect other stocks, because there are patterns in data. If you can mine that data, which we’ve been able to do with artificial intelligence, the data will provide clues to help traders and investors make more intelligent decisions.”

With a primary focus on helping individual traders and investors, Lane’s dad, Louis, established what would become Vantagepoint AI to level the playing field for investors that were like him. Many independent retail traders do not have the unlimited budgets to do research and developments, nor do they have highly sophisticated tools at their disposal. After initially developing what has become the firm’s software program for himself, Louis expanded it because he realized how many other people there were like him, who needed the same thing he had.

“At the beginning, we made a mandate for ourselves: focus on the individual trader/investor. We want to help the person who says, “Look, I’ve worked hard all my life. I’ve saved. I want to protect the money I saved, and I want to make that grow. But, I want to do it in a way where I’m not betting the farm or taking unnecessary risks.” That’s who we’ve been able to help. That’s who we’re empowering on a daily basis.

“We make it known on different financial websites that we have technology that uses artificial intelligence, but there’s a lot of people in our industry who offer different trading products or education or newsletter services. They want their clients to be successful because if their clients are no longer trading, then their clients are not going to continue to purchase from them. We’re a little different, we give people a tool that helps them trade smarter; even if they never buy anything else from us. But because we deliver on our promise, they usually do!”

Another element which has contributed to the firm’s impressive success, is the dedicated, experienced and innovative team which forms the backbone of Vantagepoint AI. When discussing the internal culture, Lane highlights the significant role the team play in the overall success of the firm.
