To protect people and property in a privacy-sensitive way.
Before Verkada stepped onto the scene, the evolution of video security was happening primarily in the consumer space. Home-security technology like video doorbells was becoming mainstream, but, ironically, enterprise security was lagging behind. Many large-scale companies were using outdated tech, creating problems for their security operations.
Verkada recognised that commercial security was outdated and backward, and began a mission to get commercial security up to date. The company provides clients with computer-vision cameras, using machine learning to identify security issues. Enterprise security is by no means a new market, but Verkada's success has come from its ability to recognise what large companies need and to provide up-to-date solutions. Its products have seen considerable uptake and major funding saw Verkada secure a multi-billion post-money valuation.
Verkada has experienced controversy in the past due to a security breach of some of its surveillance equipment. They have been honest and transparent about this, showing their continued commitment to security and safety. They have shown strong promise despite their setbacks, evident in their ability to close a further Series D funding round and their continued drive towards their goal "to be the essential physical security software layer for every building".

We're building the business from the ground up in EMEA. Whilst we have some reference points from the US organisation there is still lots to improve and figure out as we scale.

Verkada's gone from zero people in 2016 to circa 2000 people in 2024. Today the vast majority of those are in the US where the business has already scaled significantly. In EMEA we are still early days and the growth potential of the business is huge - and so are the opportunities for progression as we try to disrupt this $100B market.
