Our story
Built by engineers who got fed up waiting for Jira to load.
Velostarted in 2023 when four friends on a remote team realised every PM tool either moved at glacial speed or forced them into a rigid structure that didn't match how modern software teams actually work. We set out to build a tool that felt more like a well-designed IDE than a spreadsheet.

What we believe
Speed is a feature
Every millisecond of latency is a tiny tax on your team's focus. We obsess over performance like it's a product requirement — because it is.
Clarity over ceremony
Status meetings exist to compensate for bad tooling. Velo makes the work visible so you can cancel the standup.
Your data, your rules
No dark patterns, no data selling, no surprise retention policies. Enterprise-grade security for every plan.
Built by engineers, for engineers
Our founding team spent five years in the trenches before building this. Every design decision comes from lived frustration.
The team
A distributed team of engineers, designers, and product thinkers across five time zones.
Wei Zhang
Co-founder & CEO
Previously engineering lead for developer workflow products. Ships code and strategy in equal measure.
Sara Chen
Co-founder & Design
Designed Figma's collaboration layer before leaving to fix how teams see their work.
Omar Hassan
Head of Engineering
Distributed systems at scale. Believes the most important code is the code you don't have to write.
Lena Park
Head of Product
Two startups, one acquisition, and a very strong opinion about sprint planning ceremonies.
