About Us
Before VenLink the company was created, the founders jointly managed
third-party risk for a publicly traded E&P in Austin, TX from 2014
to 2021. In 2016, amid rapid growth, they sought a technological
solution for vendor management, realizing the absence of a suitable
tool.
This led to the development of VenLink, the Application adopted across
the organization by 2018. Post-acquisition, its success prompted requests
from previous users in new roles. By the end of 2022, VenLink was revamped
to provide a secure vendor management platform for new clients, showcasing
its commitment to cutting-edge, technology-driven solutions that automate
critical functions and offer substantial value.
