Our Mission
Provide a trusted place to help small business owners learn the power of AI for their business and employees.
We started the AI Learning Lab to help our own small business, Surfitlocker. We wanted to help you close the gap between "ideas" and "impact"
We’re giving small businesses the power to use AI in practical ways with newfound ease.
With all of the current hype and ever changing landscape, our goal is to give you a place to learn in way that is actually useful, driving real and lasting results.
The AI Learning Lab is a community. It’s a space where people can gather to inspire one another and solve problems together.
Our People
AI Learning Lab was started by Bill Rollinson who recently worked as a General Business Counselor for the Small Business and Technology Development Center (SBTDC) in North Carolina. He started the lab to help with his own small business, Surfitlocker and to share his learnings and experience with other small businesses and entrepreneurs. He helped to create some of the first software for the Apple Macintosh in 1984 and co-founded the first online retailer, Internet Shopping Network in 1994. He’s been involved in numerous start-ups, as an operating executive, founder, investor, and board member, as well as working as a Product Mananger at Visa, Adobe and Google.
