Our Founding Team
Vendorful is a group of people who seek to blend high tech with humanism. Most of us have worked together before and we've chosen to work together because...well, we like each other! As a team, we are guided by a shared vision. We aspire to build a company and product that reflect both the values and culture that hold dear. And we do all of this while firmly believing that it's 100% okay to be a little weird.
