Getting started & early access
What does “early access” actually mean right now?
Vetta's founding cohort is 8 companies, selected by a short application rather than a signup form. Founding teams use Vetta free through launch (we're targeting Q4 2026), then pay a founding rate of $199/month flat — any company size — for their first 24 months, then the published rate. We'll always ask before we ever charge. Start by leaving your email on the early access page; we'll follow up with a few questions about how your team runs today.
Why free? Don't people ignore what they don't pay for?
Fair challenge — and it's why the cohort runs on commitment instead of a credit card. Founding teams put their real quarterly goals in the system and run their real weekly review in it, with a founder who reads the completion stats. A team paying $199 can quietly not show up; a team that skips its own leadership meeting three weeks running can't hide it. That visibility is worth more to both of us than a token charge.
What are founding teams expected to do?
Run your real weekly rhythm in Vetta and tell us the truth about what's broken. That's the deal — and it has teeth: with only 8 seats and a waitlist behind them, a team that goes three weeks without running its review will hear from Nick, and if the rhythm's genuinely not happening, the seat goes to the next team. Not as a punishment — as fairness to the companies waiting. Serious teams tend to like that this rule exists.
Will you ask us for case studies or referrals?
We'll ask permission — that's all. If Vetta works for your team, we'd love to tell your story with your name on it, and you can say no and keep every founding benefit. Nothing on this site will ever carry an invented quote or a logo we didn't earn, so the only stories we can publish are the ones founding teams volunteer. Referrals aren't part of any agreement; if we've earned one, you'll send it without being asked.
What happens to our price after the 24 months?
You move to the published rate for your company size — the same flat per-company pricing everyone else pays, listed on the pricing page. No negotiation, no surprise: the founding rate has a start, an end, and a public number, which is exactly how we think pricing should behave.
How long does setup take?
Most teams can enter their quarter's goals, build a scorecard, and run their first Weekly Review inside a week. There's no implementation project and no consultant required — if you can run a meeting, you can run Vetta.
The product
What is Vetta, in one sentence?
Vetta is a team operating system where the weekly meeting is the product: your goals, scorecard, tasks, and issues live in one system, and the Weekly Review runs on top of them — so the meeting and the work can never drift apart.
What does the Weekly Review actually look like?
A structured meeting your team runs every week: read the scorecard, check the goals, work the issues until each has an owner and a next step, then read back the commitments. The agenda builds itself from your real data, unsolved issues carry forward visibly, and the recap writes itself. Same day, same time, every week — the rhythm is the point.
Can each team run its own weekly review?
Yes. Every team runs its own review on its own goals and scorecard, and team goals can support company goals — so leadership sees the whole climb without anyone building a rollup deck.
Does Vetta replace our task manager?
For running the business — goals, metrics, weekly commitments, issues — yes. For deep project work like sprint boards or client production schedules, plenty of teams keep a dedicated tool alongside. The difference is that in Vetta, tasks connect to goals, so the work you review each week is the work that moves the quarter. There's a full write-up in Vetta vs. task managers.
Who can see what?
By default, everything is visible to everyone — alignment beats secrecy in a company of 20 to 500 people. Every item has one home team, and there are private layers for the things that genuinely need them. What you'll never find is per-seat visibility pricing or permission mazes.
Frameworks & EOS-style teams
We run EOS. Will Vetta work for us?
Yes — that's one of the teams we build for most deliberately. Vetta supports EOS-style vocabulary and habits (the weekly meeting, the scorecard, quarterly goals, an issues list) without requiring a license, an implementer, or new jargon. The honest comparison, including where dedicated EOS software beats us, is in Vetta vs. EOS tools.
Do we need an implementer or consultant to start?
No. Vetta is built to be self-serve from day one. If you already work with a fractional COO or implementer, they can sit inside your system on a free guide seat — we think coaches make the rhythm stronger, we just don't think software should require one.
We use OKRs. Or SMART goals. Or neither.
Vetta has three goal modes — simple goals, goals with milestones, and OKRs — over one shared system. You pick the language that fits how your company already talks, and if you outgrow one mode, you switch without migrating anything or losing history.
Is Vetta affiliated with EOS Worldwide?
No. EOS® and related marks are trademarks of EOS Worldwide, LLC. Vetta is an independent product — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by EOS Worldwide. Teams that love the EOS way of working use Vetta; teams that have never heard of it use Vetta the same way.
Pricing & billing
How does per-company pricing work?
One flat monthly price covers your whole company — every seat, every team. Plans are sized by company headcount ($299–$499/month), published right on the pricing page, and there's no per-seat meter, no “contact sales,” and no surprise line items when you hire.
Why flat pricing instead of per seat?
Because per-seat pricing punishes the exact behaviour an operating system needs: everyone in. When adding a person costs money, companies leave people out, and alignment develops holes. Flat pricing means inviting your whole team is always the right call — it's a product decision as much as a business one.
Is there a free trial?
Right now, the way in is the founding cohort: 8 companies, free through launch (targeting Q4 2026), then $199/month flat for 24 months — details in Getting started. At launch, every plan will have a free way to start.
What if we grow past our plan's size?
You move up to the next tier — that's the whole event. No retroactive charges, no per-seat true-ups, no renegotiation. The tiers and caps are published on the pricing page, along with the annual option that saves roughly two months.
Your data
Who owns our data?
You do. Full export is always available, you can cancel anytime, and there are no dark patterns on the way out. A tool that runs your operating rhythm holds important history — it should never be able to hold it hostage.
What happens if Vetta goes away?
The honest answer to a fair question: Vetta is bootstrapped by a founder who previously built a business software company over sixteen years, and it's built to stay — boring infrastructure, no growth-at-all-costs theater. And regardless of anything, your export is always one click away. We'll publish a full security and data page before launch.
Working with a guide
I'm a fractional COO or consultant. How does Vetta work for my practice?
Each of your clients gets their own workspace at their own flat price, and your guide seat is free in every one of them — you sit inside each client's system without adding a line to their bill. We're building the cross-client view (the Guide Console) with practitioners right now; the full picture, including the 30-day install pattern, is in the fractional COO's client rhythm.
Do you pay referral fees to consultants?
No fees, no tiers, no referral contracts — deliberately. Guides get free seats and a product that makes their client rhythms stick, and their independence stays intact. If Vetta makes your practice better, we'd rather earn the recommendation than buy it.
Switching to Vetta
Can we migrate from Ninety, a spreadsheet, or Asana?
Yes — and it's smaller than it sounds, because what you're moving is your operating layer, not years of project archives. Most teams re-enter the current quarter's goals and scorecard in about an hour and leave history where it lives. The honest per-tool trade-offs are written up in our comparisons: EOS tools, task managers, spreadsheets, and all-in-one workspaces.
We're mid-quarter. Should we wait for a clean start?
Start now. The Weekly Review doesn't care what week it is — enter the goals you're already chasing and run this week's meeting in Vetta. A rhythm that starts in week 7 beats a perfect start that keeps sliding a quarter away.
We already have a weekly meeting. What actually changes?
The meeting stops being assembled by hand. Today someone gathers numbers, chases updates, and rebuilds an agenda every week; in Vetta the scorecard, goal check-ins, carried issues, and commitments are already there when the meeting starts — so the time goes into decisions instead of archaeology. If your meeting already works, Vetta makes it cheaper to keep; if it's drifting, the structure pulls it back.
A note on how this page is written: Vetta is pre-launch, and every answer above describes things as they are today — not as the roadmap intends. When something here changes, we change the answer.
