Three veteran local technology executives have launched a venture focused on making artificial intelligence work for clients in a number of industries — and aiming to build a broad portfolio of equity stakes along the way.

SwitchPoint Ventures is being run by WPC Healthcare, Intermedix and R1 RCM alumni Ray Guzman (CEO), Damian Mingle (chief data scientist) and Nolan Rhem (COO). The trio left publicly traded R1 shortly after the revenue cycle management business completed its acquisition of Intermedix Corp., a data analytics provider that had itself bought Brentwood-based WPC in the spring of last year. With SwitchPoint, they are pitching their expertise in machine learning and AI to companies looking to make the most of their data as well as publicly available information. They also are marketing strategic advisory services focused on the smart usage of data.
