Vantagepoint AI | August 16, 2021
Vantagepoint AI has been recognized again by Fortune® Magazine as a top Small Business. Out of 100 small businesses, Vantagepoint AI was ranked number eight in the entire U.S.
Vantagepoint AI was the first company in the world to empower independent traders to trade smarter and profit more using Artificial Intelligence on their home computers. Company founder, Louis Mendelsohn, transformed the financial industry with the introduction of his theory of strategy backtesting, the introduction of his software, and his patented global Intermarket Analysis. Today, Lane Mendelsohn leads the company and continues to create a workplace that is transforming lives both for his team and for VantagePoint traders.
"This award is especially meaningful to me," says Lane Mendelsohn, "It is directly impacted by how our team feels about being part of our Vantagepoint family. As the President of Vantagepoint, I am deeply aware of my responsibility to care for our team and our business."
Vantagepoint AI offers its team full medical, dental, and vision coverage and maintains a workplace culture centered around its core values of teamwork, communication, purpose, innovation, respect, integrity, and passion to guide every decision and action at all levels of the company. The company is also dedicated to giving back to the local community through regular corporate giving as well as team member donations to small, local (often overlooked) community charities.
The Vantagepoint AI team was surveyed and resoundingly endorsed the workplace culture the Mendelsohns have created. "I love that we are a leader in the United States of how to be a workplace that changes lives for my team, our community, and our traders!" declared Lane Mendelsohn, President of Vantagepoint AI.
