About Lanai
We believe in a future where AI will dramatically improve all aspects of companies as well as the productivity and job satisfaction of their employees. However, getting to this future will be messy and confusing! Lanai, a contraction of "Lean Into AI”, aims to help. Lanai will offer a software platform that helps companies adopt AI-based models and applications in a productive, cost-effective, and secure manner. Lanai was founded in early 2023 by Steve Herrod (former CTO of VMware) and the talented team at Juxtapose. Lanai has received substantive funding from top-tier VC firms and will release its first product later this year.
