Our Story

About

LiAison Labs, a Woman-Owned, Qualified Opportunity Zone Business

Our co-founders, Julianna Ormond & RC Williams, started with a foundation of success as advisors, providing competitive intelligence consulting.

With this experience, they developed a proprietary forecasting methodology that accurately predicted election results, social movements, Supreme Court decisions, and winners in corporate bankruptcies because of their ability to connect the dots with data.

With this success, they asked the question that started everything:

“How much more could we do if we could get through 1000, 10,000, 1 million pieces of data a day using technology?”

With that, LiAison Labs was born, with just the right mix of technology and incredible Humans connecting the dots to help clients do more.

Our Why

We believe that the rapid pace of innovation in technology – Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Neural Networks, and other bleeding edge creations are designed to enhance humanity.

This is why we made a commitment when we formed the company: anything we create has to also help people, or it’s not worth building.

Each of our technology platforms, advisory services, and the Sherloc ecosystem live by this commitment. To date, we’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs to grow their business, raise capital, merge, or be acquired.

We’re also working through our Opportunity Zone ecosystems to provide under served communities access practical education, technology training, and resources to build wealth.

We eat our own soup: Our world headquarters is located in the Parramore District of Orlando, Florida in the heart of a Federal Opportunity Zone.
