Vsimple Plans Louisville, Kentucky, Headquarters Operations

09/05/2025
Vsimple Inc., an AI company that specializes in improving operational inefficiencies for mid- to large-sized companies, plans to establish operations in Louisville, Kentucky. The $5.1 million project is expected to create 194 jobs.

The investment will include the relocation of the company’s headquarters to River Road. Operations are scheduled to begin by the end of 2025.

“Relocating our headquarters to Louisville is more than coming home, it’s a chance to help shape the city’s future as a center for innovation,” Vsimple founder and CEO Buddy Bockweg said. “Our platform was built for the industries that keep America moving and Louisville gives us the support, talent and partnerships to scale that mission even further.”

To support the project the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved a 10-year incentive agreement with the company under the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based agreement can provide up to $1.5 million in tax incentives based on the company’s investment of $5.1 million and annual targets of: creation and maintenance of 194 Kentucky-resident, full-time jobs across 10 years; and paying an average hourly wage of $72 including benefits across those jobs.

“Today we’re celebrating yet another significant announcement in our economy as Vsimple relocates to Louisville and creates 194 new, good-paying jobs for Kentuckians,” noted Governor Andy Beshear. “I want to thank Vsimple for believing in what our great state and workforce has to offer and officially welcoming them to their new Kentucky home.”

By meeting its annual targets over the agreement term, the company can be eligible to keep a portion of the new tax revenue it generates. The company may claim eligible incentives against its income tax liability and/or wage assessments. In addition, Vsimple can receive resources from Kentucky’s workforce service providers.

“Vsimple’s decision to relocate its headquarters to Louisville is a clear signal that our city is becoming a magnet for fast-growing tech firms,” added Trevor Pawl, CEO of the Louisville Economic Development Alliance. “With this investment and nearly 200 high-quality jobs, they are not only growing their own future, they’re contributing to ours too. We’re excited to partner with Vsimple as they scale, and we’re proud to support them as part of Louisville’s expanding innovation economy.”
