New York City, NY – Vera, an AI back-office service focused on reducing the administrative burden for America's small and medium-sized businesses, has been named to the 2024 SMBTech 50. This annual list, created by Notable Capital in collaboration with 25 venture capital firms, highlights the most promising venture-backed technology startups that support SMBs.

“The SMBTech sector has evolved into a powerhouse within the technology industry, with companies like Shopify and Hubspot demonstrating the value in serving SMBs,” said Chelcie Taylor, Investor, Notable Capital.

Today, Vera and other honorees such as Anthropic, Canva, Stripe and Gusto will celebrate by ringing the closing bell at the Nasdaq MarketSite.

“We're incredibly excited about this announcement, not just because we're recognized, but because it highlights the growing importance of SMBs as a market to serve,” said Simon Holland, Founder and CEO of Vera. “We believe that SMBs should have access to high-quality services and tools that help level the playing field that traditionally have only been available to enterprise businesses.”
