About Veri

Veri is an early-stage startup on a mission to help people feel go(o)d through better metabolic health.

We do this by providing everyone access to their metabolic health data through a continuous glucose monitor and combine it with magical software to provide actionable insights related to nutrition and performance.

Our journey started in a hacker house in the Bay Area where three frustrated, driven-to-build-things-kind-of-minds, got together to build a product that wasn't available to us and our closest community.

Couple of things we collectively believe in;

We collectively believe that health is our greatest wealth and show up every day in life and in our work to protect, develop and manifest this belief. Eventually, we want to change how health is seen in the modern world - moving away from a binary state of being healthy or being sick to a state of gradient.

• Health is our greatest wealth: We root each other to be healthier every single day. We host sports-themed team days, enjoy daily yoga, and HIIT sessions together. We also provide an incentive program to encourage the exploration of new health and wellness products.

• We believe in magic: Companies that we look up to, like Nike and Apple, strive to make people feel and experience magic in every interaction with their product, marketing, brand, and their organization. We don't let realism come into the way of imagination. We build soulful products with magic instilled in them.

• Ideas can be copied, but people are irreplaceable: We can mess up a product and rebuild it. A competitor can steal our idea and implement it. But our people are irreplaceable. You can steal our work, but you can't steal our inspiration.

If you find any of the above hard to relate to Veri is most likely not a great fit for you ✋

Process

1. Intro chat with Anttoni (30 minutes)

   You'll first talk to Anttoni on a 30-minute call; you won't need to prepare anything in advance. We would love to hear your story, where you're aiming to go and understand if we can be helpful in that journey. In exchange, we'll share with you how we came to be, and who we are. We can talk over Zoom or grab a coffee at our office / somewhere near our office in Kallio.

   If we both feel hyped and you seem like a culture add I'll forward you to discuss with Frans.

    

2. Tech chat with Frans (30-45 minutes)

   The purpose is to give you a thorough overview of our product – tech stack, development process, and roadmap- You'll get to ask questions and we'd also love to hear about your sweet spot and interests within the areas we are working on.

   Here again, if we feel that you could contribute to our work and you're excited about the challenges we face we'll move forward.

    

   3. Technical Task + Demo (5 hours + 45 minutes)

   We'll provide you a task to assess your technical skills and execution. After finishing the task you'll demo it to our product team.

    

   4. Meeting the Crew (30 minutes)

   Finally, we'll get one person from every team to one (virtual) room to touch base one last time before making a final decision. Usually, this discussion is more about us vibing together and getting a feel of how working together would in the future feel like.

With ❤️
