Outsourced data engineering for startups

Your startup needs clean data. It does not need a data team to hire.

Get your data in one place, ship dashboards your team actually opens, and ask any question in Slack to get an answer back. Vero is outsourced data engineering for startups, delivered as a done-for-you data stack on your cloud, for less than the cost of hiring a team of data engineers.

"Complaints were climbing and refunds were following, and we couldn't see the connection between them. Vero joined the data and named the exact products driving it. We fixed the root cause, refund rate cut in half in 8 weeks."

Head of Ops, GovPlus
What Marcus got
01
Challenge: 9 systems logging 9 versions of the same customer story. Refunds and complaints were both climbing, with no way to see which products were actually driving either one.
02
What Vero delivered: One BigQuery warehouse joining refunds to complaints to reviews. Refund rate cut in half in 8 weeks, chat CSAT up 7 points, and three live dashboards so Ops, Sales, and Product stopped arguing over whose numbers were right.

"We knew a deal had closed. We didn't know what it actually earned. Vero connected our CRM, ERP, Meta Ads, and Moneybird so every close now carries a real margin number, not a guess at month end."

Head of Operations, Voltera
What Sander got
01
Challenge: True margin was scattered across 5 systems. The team could see a deal close but not what it cost to deliver, so decisions kept getting made on gross quote value instead of real profit.
02
What Vero delivered: One warehouse joining CRM, ERP, marketing, and finance. True margin per deal, visible for the first time, with 20 to 25 hours of manual reporting removed every cycle.

"Trials were going quiet with no warning, and the deal journey lived in a spreadsheet someone rebuilt after every release. Vero connected everything into one warehouse, so we can finally see the full picture from first click to paying workspace."

What Daniel got
01
Challenge: Two invisible journeys. The team couldn't tell which prospects were becoming paying workspaces or which trials were quietly going idle, and every product release risked breaking the report nobody had checked yet.
02
What Vero delivered: A full Lead-to-Cash model on Snowflake refreshing every 30 minutes, an automatic alert when cost per lead crosses $100, and manual reporting effort dropped to zero.

Ad platforms tied to claim outcomes

"We had claims everywhere but no way to know which ones would actually pay out. Vero built one system that decides what counts as qualified and applies it the same way every time, so we finally prioritize the claims worth chasing."

What Jenna got
01
Challenge: Claim status, loan matches, and qualification lived buried in raw records that changed shape from one claim to the next. Answering "how many of this month's claims will actually pay out" meant piecing it together by hand.
02
What Vero delivered: One warehouse unifying claims, loans, risk, and ad spend. Every claim now carries an expected value score, qualification rules apply consistently, and Facebook and TikTok spend traces directly to which claims convert.

How outsourced data engineering for startups actually works

How it works

You know exactly what you get before you sign anything.

Most data projects ask you to trust 6 months of promises before you see a single number. Vero flips that. You see the plan, the price, and the first live piece of your stack before you commit to the full build.

FAQ

Frequently asked
questions

What is outsourced data engineering for startups?

×
Outsourced data engineering for startups is when a specialist team builds and runs your data stack instead of you hiring a data engineer. It covers your warehouse, pipelines, dashboards, and AI agents in one engagement. Vero delivers this for Seed to Series A SaaS startups, so you get the output of a full data team without the hire.

How much does Vero cost?

+
Vero costs less than hiring one data engineer. Fixed builds start from $9,500 and ongoing management from $1,000 per month. Every price is locked on the free scoping call before you commit.

Do we need to replace our current tools?

Best for Startups without a data team Startups with a data team

Do I still need to hire a data engineer if I use Vero?

+
No, Vero replaces the need to hire a data engineer for most Seed to Series A SaaS startups. A senior data engineer costs $120K to $160K per year and only covers one layer of the stack. Vero delivers the whole stack for less than one salary.

Is my data secure with Vero?

+
Yes, your data never leaves your own cloud account. Every action Vero takes is logged in your systems, and you can revoke access at any time. Vero is SOC 1 certified, and your infrastructure stays fully in your control from day one.
