Service Academy Business Mastermind

“I feel like I’m at the leading edge while also taking care of my team…they have ambitions and goals and dreams and so the fact that we win together and solution together, that’s the most exciting part for me…it’s the build up and the big presentation for the deal.”- Lance Kallman (USAFA ‘04)

Lance Kallman is the President and Co-Founder of DataPrime, a company focused on building machine learning engines for artificial intelligence solutions to solve business problems. DataPrime makes access to machine learning engines much easier and faster than traditional big-package software. DataPrime operates by using data to train and build artificial intelligence and is working toward building its own data marketplace, which allows everyone other than big tech to push in trade data and do it in a secure anonymous way. DataPrime even has an edge over technologies including Chat GPT and its solutions are already having a significant impact across all industries and sectors including everything from healthcare to travel and international freight.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How DataPrime uses machine learning to solve business problems
• What Lance enjoys most about his role at DataPrime
• How Lance transitioned from the Air Force into the data industry
• What smart tokens are and how DataPrime is using them to build a data marketplace
• How DataPrime is helping to improve healthcare through data-driven interventions

Lance also shares some of his biggest challenges, why he loves working on cutting-edge technology development, and why he values the military veteran and Service Academy graduate network. We enjoyed learning who DataPrime’s ideal customer is and why a recruitment job set Lance up for success in the data science industry. It’s exciting to hear how DataPrime’s solutions have positive implications for the ways in which we live our lives and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for Lance and his company.
