Our Story

Nice to meet you!

Welcome to shop local.ai. We're more than just a technology company; we're a family-owned business founded in Victoria, Minnesota.

Our story began with a simple belief

There's tremendous opportunity in every community and with innovation and hard work great things can happen.

After more than 25 years in the technology industry, our CTO Bill has seen trends come and go, but the impact of artificial intelligence is arguably one of the largest jumps in our lifetime. This technology has both promise and concern, but we believe that AI is a new way to create experiences and products that are not feasible without this technology.

That's why we founded shop local.ai. We harness the power of artificial intelligence to make discovering, supporting, and connecting communities easier and more rewarding than ever.
