Vardo

Vardo is a dynamic startup focused on enhancing team coordination and efficiency for fast-growing companies. The company operates in the business productivity and project management market, providing a solution named Velma. Velma is designed to eliminate the fear of unexpected delays by ensuring that all team members are aligned and informed without the need for constant meetings. This tool is particularly beneficial for companies experiencing rapid growth, where maintaining clear communication and coordination can be challenging.

Vardo primarily serves small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups that require robust project management solutions to keep their teams synchronized. The company’s business model revolves around offering Velma as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product. This means clients subscribe to Velma on a recurring basis, typically monthly or annually, providing Vardo with a steady stream of revenue.

The company recently raised $1.1 million in a pre-seed funding round from investors including Quiet Capital and Sterling Road. This funding will likely be used to further develop Velma, expand the team, and enhance marketing efforts to attract more clients.

Vardo’s approach is characterized by a balance of intensity and empathy, making significant decisions with customer needs in mind and maintaining transparency and honesty. The leadership team includes experienced professionals like Lisa, who has led Machine Learning teams at ASAPP, and Justin, who has a background in sales at Bluecore. Vardo is also actively seeking talented software engineers who are passionate about solving complex problems and innovating in the realm of team efficiency.
