People at Vennly

At Vennly, we're a family. Truly, in that two of the founders are brothers-in-law (I'll let you guess which two) who actively chose to spend pretty much all of their waking hours working together. But more importantly, we're a family in that our company is driven by fostering connection and empowering storytelling. We're driven by the power of a medium in audio that is authentic, personal, and trusted. We're driven by the power of a medium that doesn't care what you look like, or where you're coming from, as long as you have something to add to the conversation. And just like a family is shaped by its history, part of our familial feeling is informed by the journey we've been on as a company. A few years ago, we started out developing an app to help people improve their spiritual health. We identified some of the top emerging spiritual minds in the US and partnered with them to record short-form audio lessons on everyday topics like identity, relationships, parenting, and purpose, to be delivered through our app. We did this since we thought it provided a better way to provide care and support to people who were looking for it, and we saw it as a unique way to bring together the best teachers across faith traditions, gender identities, racial identities, and sexual orientations. While the app didn't pan out, we found demand for the platform we built to power the app, and learned some important truths: We believe in the power of audio as medium. We believe in the importance of providing a platform accessible to all voices. And we believe in the platform we built, with our app as the first "customer", as the best tool for organizations to harness the power of audio. Our product has evolved, and in the meantime our family has grown. We've had two Vennly babies join the family since we've started, and our family now has 3 kids, 3 dogs, 6 FTEs, and a whole lot of passion spread across 5 cities in 3 times zones. Maybe we'll see you at the next family reunion!
