Grant Bender
Founder
Eight years in enterprise consulting taught Grant what works and what doesn't. He ran global sales operations data initiatives for pharmaceutical companies. Reported directly to leadership teams at Fortune 500 corporations. Built healthcare pricing pipelines processing terabytes of hospital data.
He's been building with AI since before it was sexy. Not chasing trends, but solving real problems: entity resolution, document processing, predictive models that actually get used. He knows firsthand what it takes to turn AI from a demo into a business outcome.
The projects varied. The frustrations didn't. Large consultancies sent junior analysts who needed hand-holding. Vendors pushed platforms that solved yesterday's problems. Internal teams got buried in maintenance and never touched strategy.
Databender was built differently: senior expertise from day one, AI woven into every workflow. Experienced builders augmented by the tools they know how to use.
