Our Story

More Than an AI Company.

Three founders. Decades of tech experience. One belief: the most powerful technology in history should be available to everyone — not just the biggest companies in the room.

The Long Road Here

MindWorxAI didn’t start with a pitch deck or a venture capital meeting. It started the way most real things do — with people who spent years doing the work, seeing what was broken, and deciding to fix it.

Our founders have been building, deploying, and supporting technology for over two decades combined. From running computer stores to architecting healthcare systems, from military service to enterprise software development — every step taught us something that Silicon Valley never quite figured out: technology only matters when it works for the people using it.

We’ve watched AI evolve from a theoretical curiosity into the most transformative tool since the internet. And we’ve watched the same pattern repeat: big companies get access first, small businesses get left behind, and everyone is told they need to hand over their data for the privilege.

We started MindWorxAI to break that pattern.

What We Believe

AI is the most powerful tool since the internet. And just like the internet, it should be available to everyone — not just corporations with seven-figure cloud contracts.

Using AI shouldn’t mean handing your data to a stranger. Your customer lists, your financials, your competitive advantages — that’s yours.

Privacy should be a choice, not a luxury.

That’s why everything we build runs on your hardware, in your building, on your network. No cloud dependencies. No data leaving your doors. No monthly fees to rent access to your own intelligence.

The People Behind MindWorxAI

Built by people who’ve been in the trenches.

Geoff Beaton

Co-Founder

Geoff’s tech journey started the hard way. After serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, he walked away from military life in 1999 with one idea: bring technology to the people around him.

He opened a computer store in the Cowichan Valley — back when most small towns were still figuring out dial-up — and spent nearly a decade helping local businesses and families get connected. After selling the business in 2008, the passion didn’t stop. It evolved.

Inspired by Ray Kurzweil’s Singularity, Geoff spent nearly two decades tracking every major development in artificial intelligence. For the past two years, that watching turned into building — designing AI automation workflows, deploying local models, and proving that small businesses don’t need Silicon Valley budgets to work smarter.

Gregory Hodder

Co-Founder

Gregory brings a different kind of depth. With a Bachelor of Arts from Acadia University and a degree in Applied Information Technology, he built his career at the intersection of software development and real-world problem solving.

Over more than a decade in healthcare technology — progressing from Programmer Analyst to Regional Manager of Application Development at Western Health, and later serving as E-Health Lead at The Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Health Information — he learned what most tech companies never figure out: technology only matters when it solves problems for people who aren’t technologists.

A technology evangelist with deep expertise in Agile, ITIL, and business intelligence, Gregory’s passion is reshaping the technology landscape for underdeveloped industry sectors and small businesses — the exact organizations that get left behind when innovation only serves enterprise.

Why Cowichan Valley

Because this is home.

We’ve watched this community grow. We’ve served its businesses. And we know that the same innovation happening in Vancouver and San Francisco can happen right here — if someone builds the bridge.

That’s what MindWorxAI is. The bridge between world-class AI and the businesses that actually make this valley run.
