History
Vennli was founded in 2013 upon a strategy model developed by co-founder Joe Urbany, a marketing professor from the University of Notre Dame, and co-founder Gary Gigot, whose background includes technology marketing and venture capital at firms such as Microsoft, Visio, and Frazier Technology. Vennli launched the platform in 2014 with a fully functional application. In the summer of 2014, Vennli conducted a beta introduction with over 80 customers – spanning company size, industry, and type. Currently, over 100 clients have applied the platform to their growth challenges (this is in addition to the 800+ Notre Dame Executive MBA students who have applied the model to business challenges over the past decade).
