History
May 1999, Brian
Grom founded Bard NLP, a New York S Corporation, to develop a Natural
Language Processing (NLP) technology that would overcome many of
the challenges inherent in the language we speak. Mr. Grom invented
a means by which software can derive meaning from text. He realized
his creation was very valuable, but wisely sought proven business
veterans to maximize the potential of his invention.

Robert Fritzinger founded Microlanguage LLC to acquire, develop,
and commercialize the assets of Bard NLP. Fritzinger, former cofounder
