Verbate aims to work closely with community organizations in the NYC area since we're headquartered in Brooklyn. We want to provide community orgs with online connection, technology guidance, and access to critical resources.
In 2021, we've supported organizations who are creating safe community spaces, enabling local businesses to thrive and bringing the community together.
We want to give our employees a way to be involved with communities they align with by donating their time and skills in a hybrid and remote work world.
Our employees have an opportunity to donate their skills and time through our skills-based volunteer platform.
We want to give more community organizations a way to secure more funding and skills-based volunteers.
We've created contactless technology for community orgs, and are now shifting to direct sponsorship facilitation.
Our CEO and co-founder, Anisha Nandi, is a woman of color who is committed to furthering opportunities for diverse perspectives in the tech ecosystem. We would like to expand our efforts to make them more tangible and measurable into the future.
Our commitment to impact and inclusion is reflected in our hiring process, cap table construction and product development.
As we grow, we're developing ERGs to provide opportunities for productive discussion and accountability.
Currently, we do not have ERGs since we're a small team.
We would like to provide more competitive comp as we raise another round of funding. Our benefits are competitive, but could get better as well. We'd like to be able to provide stronger care for families into the future. We would also like to provide a 401K into the future.
We provide healthcare, eye care and dental currently that accommodates different types of living situations and families. We give unlimited PTO and flexible working benefits (stipends etc).
We'd like to have a comprehensive career development program that gives our employees a way to develop, nurture and grow their goals right from the get-go of joining Verbate.
Currently, with such a small team, it's just regular documentation of our product and leadership goals.
It's important to me as CEO to build a company culture that is transparent, honest, and hardworking. Below is our values doc that covers some of our core values as a company.

With our current small team, we work hard to communicate, list our values and audit our current casual processes regularly.
We don't currently have Carbon Emissions goals - would love to work on this and find out the best way to think about what we should do into the future.
N/A
We don't have a physical footprint as a business, but as we expand and perhaps rent offices, we'll consider how that changes.
N/A
We would like to continue to reduce our footprint and stay a remote team even as we grow.
Our hybrid-remote team allows us to save and share resources across the company - saving resources like electricity and water. We also focus on bringing in community orgs that focus on green initiatives.
As we grow our leadership team, I'd like to make sure we remain a diverse group so our decision-making remains strong, innovative and full of different perspectives.
Currently our co-founders are the main share of the team so we are the core of decision making and strategy.
As we continue to build our stable of first-party data, we want to stay steadfast in making sure we don't ever compromise the trust and safety of our customers and their data.
We will continue to build our platform with a commitment to creating a world where impact, social responsibility and sustainability are better defined, activated and understood.
Our product itself has impact and inclusion at its heart, so we intend on always keeping at the core of our mission, values and product.
We will continue to build our platform with a commitment to creating a world where impact, social responsibility and sustainability are better defined, activated and understood.
We strive to have each part of our platform ethically created and maintained.
All of our platform is built on no-code tools by our COO so we have a strong understanding of the process and practices and are committed to keeping them responsible.
As a former journalist, I am determined to be transparent about every part of this building process.
We are very much 'building in public' for investors, the public, employees and customers. We are always learning, open to challenges and opportunities.
