Intro about Daniel & VeroSkills
Meet Daniel, the founder of VeroSkills! Daniel has vast background in software education, organized and ran bootcamps for developers and started VeroSkills with an idea to help students from underserved communities gain new skills and find a new job in tech sector.
The initial idea of VeroSkills was born in 2020. There was a massive shift where so many people have lost their job due to the pandemic. If you were working a retail job, working a factory job - they just literally went away overnight.

Initial problems with VeroSkills platform
Before starting the partnership with Paralect Daniel and the team were building the platform for about a year.
The initial problems included:
- lack of QA and multiple issues in the released software
- lack of structure and organisation to how software releases are to be done
- low speed
- a lot of engagement from the founder and the sales team were put into the development instead of sales & growth.
