Latimer.ai

John Pasmore · Founder & CEO

John Pasmore

John Pasmore built Latimer.ai to answer a question the mainstream AI stack keeps getting wrong: whose stories does a foundation model actually know?

Trained on curated corpora spanning Black history, literature, and lived experience, Latimer is designed to write, cite, and reason with cultural precision — and it's shipping to real classrooms today.

Through partnerships with Grammarly and a growing coalition of universities and community colleges, the platform is now embedded in the tools students already use. Latimer's growth is quiet, profitable, and pointed squarely at the future.
