A Friendship Forged on a Soccer Field — A Vision Decades in the Making
The story of N-Expert.ai did not begin in 2024. It began more than fifty years ago, when two young men — Francisco Vega and Walter Vera — first met on a soccer field and formed a friendship that would last for decades.
In 1985, Francisco Vega founded a business dedicated to serving the Hispanic community in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Through Vega & Associates, he built a trusted resource that helped thousands of families and small businesses connect, grow, and succeed — laying the foundation for a mission that would continue to evolve.
After two decades of impact, the company was successfully sold to investors from Boston in 2004. Prior to founding his own IT firm, Walter worked at The MITRE Corporation, where he was involved in artificial intelligence during its early stages as a principal investigator and authored articles on AI.
Two decades later, Francisco and Walter reconnected. With the rise of artificial intelligence, that mission has been reimagined — leading to the founding of N-Expert.ai, built to help small businesses thrive.
