History
Predictive Technology Systems was founded by Dan Savage and Ben Sanders in early 2018 with the goal of building tools for AI determined trading programs with decision-making fully automated using machine learning technologies. We are convinced we are in the early stages of a digital revolution that will transform the business of trading.
In November, 2017, we sold sold our controlling equity stake in Resolute Digital to Interpublic Group (IPG) and began work building a successful FinTech company utilizing leading edge machine learning technologies. Together, Dan and Ben pioneered automated digital marketing tools in 2006, launching Resolute with highly sophisticated proprietary digital marketing software that allowed their clients to maintain Google AdWords campaigns with millions of targeted keywords with real time analytics and optimization software. As digital marketing tools grew in complexity, we began to adopt machine learning tools using the data backbone of Goggle Analytics 360 and Google BigQuery to provide our clients with a competitive edge.
While in 2006 digital marketing was in the very early stages of development, we see a similar paradigm shift in financial markets as machines create their own successful, high speed trading programs using the rapidly evolving power of machine learning technologies (AI). Many of the vast data sets required to populate the meaningful “features” to drive machine learning programs have yet to be built, let alone offered as commercially viable products. While a handful of companies have begun to offer subscriptions to digital feeds offering digital sentiment analysis, powerful prediction programs will require hundreds (even thousands) of digital inputs, with data streaming changing by the second.
Predictive Technology Systems is currently of using Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies and applied Sentiment Analysis to transform raw text data and spoken words to digital “features” that can be further processed by machine learning programs into predictive algorithms.

Dan Savage
Dan possesses a rare combination of business acumen and computer science skills, making the transition from publishing computer magazines (Byte, PC/Computing, Datamation) to the online world in the late 1990s. He, along with Ben Sanders, wrote among the first automated programs for managing digital advertising campaigns, using that software as a foundation for the digital marketing services as Resolute Digital. After the sale of Resolute to IPG in 2017, Dan focused on developing software to manage his own investments. He and Ben Sanders realized that much of the information that is believed to influence movement of market pricing had yet to be digitized into a format that could be consumed by machine learning programs.
