ABOUT VANE

Built close
to the work.

Our team has worked at sea and managed fleets. We have built and invested in maritime, mobility and energy companies, and shipped machine-learning systems.

We started VANE after seeing how much of ship management still depends on reconstructing decisions from inboxes and disconnected systems.
