Company mission

To empower the next generation of creators by creating the new industry standard for visual web design.

Our take

Norwegian startup Vev is attempting to bridge the divide between high-code, low-code, and no-code web design with its all-in-one one design, development and collaboration platform.

By offering three individual visual editors for design, code and content respectively, Vev is trying to bring the best features of platforms like Wordpress, Canva, and Wix into one place. It’s a pretty ambitious move to attempt to disrupt these established industry names, but Vev has made fantastic progress since launching in 2017 by winning the custom of Netflix, Osprey and The Economist.

Until recently, Vev was only targeting businesses with its products, but with its latest round of seed funding secured, the goal now is to launch to the public, while rolling out more refined products and scaling up its marketing efforts to boost growth.

Company values

  • Each other - We look out for one another, because we would not be here without one another. That means our colleagues, our clients and society at large all play a role in what we do and what we make. By empowering each other, we make things better for everyone.
  • Freedom - The freedom of a blank canvas, the freedom to create without bounds, the freedom to think beyond any limitations, the freedom to share ideas, the freedom of expression. For us, creativity stems from freedom. Stretch your wings and see how far you can fly, we will not get in your way.
  • Inclusivity - Unique talents, ideas, perspectives and the vast experiences of our employees is what makes Vev tick. We created a product that is to be used by everyone, all over the world, and we fully take the social responsibility that is associated with that. The web is for everyone and products built for the web should be built by everyone.
  • Futurism - We are locked into the future of art, of tech, of everything. We like to challenge the status quo, evolve, advance and seek greater possibilities. We’re into speed, dynamism, performance, energy, change and progress. We are constantly forward thinking and forward in action.
  • Collaboration - We are always working to make new connections, find new perspectives and create new ways for people to work together. At the end of the day, we have to be collaborative in order to build a collaborative design tool, at least that's how we see it.
  • Experimentation - We’re obsessed with cause and effect, playful innovations, asking questions, seeking answers and putting ourselves in other people’s shoes. We like trial and error, because we aren’t afraid to fail. We’re always on the lookout for the next big idea and are brave enough to chase it.
  • Transparency - Like the passage of light through an object, we are transparent in all we do. We strive to make it easy for others to see what we are doing and why we’re doing it, every step of the way. The practice of being open and honest helps us break through barriers and helps our people and products thrive.
