The Verkada Story:
Our founders are builders. All of them are trained engineers. They love creating new products to solve big problems. Over a decade ago, two of our founders experienced the challenges with the “best” enterprise video security products available at that time. Existing hardware-based systems cost a lot of money and were insecure and clunky. The market lagged behind the progress seen in the consumer space, where someone could buy high-end cameras with cloud-based software to protect their home.
Over the next few years, they started from first principles to see if they could find a better solution to help organizations more effectively protect their people and property using a software-first approach. They spent time with industry leaders and prospective customers to fully understand their challenges and concerns. The more conversations they had, the more they grasped the stress and anxiety faced by the people entrusted with keeping organizations safe. They envisioned new products they could build to ensure these individuals always had the most critical information at their fingertips.
As the challenge became clear, so did their goal: to positively impact the world by making organizations of any size safer using truly innovative technology. In the summer of 2016, Verkada was born.
