Vera Solutions is founded

A decade ago, Vera Solutions grew out of a health education nonprofit in South Africa, where Co-founder and CEO, Zak Kaufman, put in place one of the first Salesforce-based monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems to track the program’s outputs and outcomes for over 2 million beneficiaries. Vera Solutions was born to help more organizations leverage the power and flexibility of Salesforce to track their impact, streamline their operations, and create feedback loops that put data in the hands of staff who need it.
