The story of Vendasta

We didn’t start with a product. We started with a problem—millions of small businesses struggling to grow in a digital world. In 2008, we built our first tools to help them compete. Listings. Reviews. Social. Then we scaled. Fast. Agencies, MSPs, and franchises joined us to serve their clients under one brand.

Today, Vendasta is the AI platform for customer acquisition and engagement. 66,000+ partners. 8.2 million SMBs. Billions in transactions, and we’re moving faster than ever.
