What Velum Labs does

Velum is the operating system for data quality. Velum automatically monitors and enforces data quality across a company's data stack, so bad data never reaches dashboards. We turn data quality from a manual task into infrastructure that runs itself. Data trust you can prove. From the pipeline to the boardroom.

The OS for data quality across any stack

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building Velum, an operating system that automatically monitors and enforces data quality across a company's entire data stack. It detects bad data before it reaches dashboards, so analysts and leadership can trust their data without manual checks. Velum turns data quality from a tedious, manual process into infrastructure that just runs reliably in the background.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we built our network and have access to data engineering talent and early users. Being here keeps us close to key customers and partners in the B2B data space.
