## About Veeva Systems

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Veeva Systems builds the industry cloud for life sciences — cloud software, AI, industry-specific data, and consulting that help pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies bring therapies to market faster.
- **Entity Type**: Public (NYSE: VEEV), converted to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) in February 2021 — the first public company to do so
- **Headquarters**: Pleasanton, California, USA (4280 Hacienda Drive, Pleasanton, CA 94588)
- **Founded**: 2007
- **Founders**: Peter Gassner and Matt Wallach

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Life sciences technology / healthcare IT — serving R&D, clinical, regulatory, quality, safety, and commercial functions
- **Target customers**: B2B enterprise — pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies; over 1,000 customers globally
- **Mission/purpose**: "Building the Industry Cloud for Life Sciences" — helping the industry become more efficient and effective so it can focus on creating quality products in shorter time frames while maintaining compliance

## Products & Services
- **Veeva Vault Platform**: The core cloud platform with applications for Clinical, Regulatory, Quality, and Safety — consolidating critical processes in one central system to accelerate study timelines, streamline regulatory processes, and unify quality and safety operations.
- **Veeva AI**: Agentic AI added to the Veeva Vault platform, with deep, industry-specific agents for Veeva applications — designed to connect sponsors, sites, patients, and regulators more effectively and increase industry productivity.
- **Commercial Solutions**: Applications, data, and analytics for marketing and commercial teams to maximize campaign performance.
- **Consulting Services**: Business consulting alongside software, data, and AI to support customers' most critical business processes from R&D through commercialization.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Publicly traded (NYSE: VEEV); specific market cap not stated in cited sources.
- **Key Metric**: 975+ customers (careers site) / 1,000+ customers (corporate site); close to 8,000 employees at end of fiscal 2026.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not disclosed in cited sources; as a public company with an extensive partner ecosystem supporting its cloud solutions.
- **Growth Signals**: Added a net 637 employees in fiscal 2026, ending the year with close to 8,000 employees; launched Veeva AI as a major portfolio expansion; has grown steadily "without the need for significant layoffs historically"; product hubs span Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Industry-specific depth**: Unlike generic enterprise software, Veeva is built exclusively for the highly regulated life sciences industry, covering the full value chain from clinical through commercial.
- **Public Benefit Corporation structure**: Legally obligated to balance shareholder interests with customers, employees, partners, the life sciences industry, and communities — a durable differentiator in talent and customer trust.
- **Scale and switching costs**: Deep integration across R&D, quality, regulatory, and commercial workflows for over 1,000 customers creates significant lock-in.
- **No non-compete agreements**: Veeva does not require employees to sign non-competes and has taken legal action to fight their unfair use — a strong cultural and recruiting advantage.
- **Clear values in priority order**: Do the Right Thing, Customer Success, Employee Success, Speed.

## Strategic Focus
- **Industry cloud expansion**: Continuing to build out the full industry cloud — software, AI, data, and consulting — to become "essential to and appreciated by" the life sciences industry.
- **Veeva AI rollout**: Making agentic AI a transformative layer across the Vault platform to increase innovation and productivity from drug development through commercialization.
- **High-quality job creation**: Investing in people with tech-enabled hiring tools, manager training (with direct CEO involvement), and fair, flexible employment — while maintaining steady, measured growth without significant layoffs.
- **Long-term durable growth**: Operating as a PBC with a commitment to the life sciences industry's critical functions.

## Why Work Here
- **Work Anywhere policy**: Employees can work from home or the office on any given day; product teams are organized in regional hubs (Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, Toronto) with regular in-person collaboration.
- **Culture and values**: Collaborative environment where employees are "treated with respect" and supported to "captain their own ship" toward growth; values are explicitly prioritized: Do the Right Thing, Customer Success, Employee Success, Speed.
- **Giving back**: 1% Veeva Giving program — each employee receives an amount equal to 1% of their base salary annually to donate to non-profits of their choice; giving is entirely employee-driven.
- **Equity for employees**: Equity program designed so the vast majority of employees participate and benefit financially in the company's growth.
- **No non-compete clauses**: Employees are free to work where they choose, and the company actively fights unfair non-compete practices in the industry.
- **Stability with growth**: "Measured and thoughtful" hiring that has historically avoided significant layoffs, with net headcount growth of 637 in fiscal 2026.
- **Meaningful work**: Directly supports life sciences companies in their mission to improve and extend life.
