The Team Making AI Accessible to Every Professional
Former enterprise AI leaders on a mission to democratize secure AI for SMBs.
Why We Built Lockdale Labs
"I spent 15 years building AI systems for Fortune 500 companies at Microsoft Azure. Million-dollar budgets. Six-month deployments. Teams of 50+ engineers.
Then my brother, who runs a 12-person law firm, asked me a simple question:'Why can't we use AI like the big companies do?'
His firm handles sensitive immigration cases. Using ChatGPT would violate client confidentiality. Enterprise solutions would cost more than his entire IT budget. He was stuck.
That's when I realized: Millions of professionals are locked out of the AI revolution, not because they don't need it, but because no one built it for them.
So we did. Lockdale Labs delivers enterprise-grade AI security at SMB-friendly pricing. Because every professional deserves tools that make them more effective, not just the Fortune 500."
