Built and run by its founders.
Veskyra is a small, founder-owned company, headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, in the heart of the Research Triangle. The people who design these platforms answer the support email. We grow when our customers grow, and that's the whole business model.
What every Veskyra platform commits to.
Built for the underserved.
We start where others stop: the volunteer or combination department, range management, the safety team. Their needs set the roadmap.
Transparent pricing.
Prices are published for every standard plan. Flat rates. No per-seat penalties for growing.
Elevated by design.
Fast, clear, humane software. If a feature needs a manual, it isn't finished.
Coverage that fits.
Purpose-built for how your organization actually works, not hand-me-downs from enterprise contracts.
Lauren and Justin Anderson are married co-founders of Veskyra, Lauren as Founder & CEO, Justin as Co-Founder & CTO.
Their backgrounds are close to mirrored. Both started in emergency services in Indiana, both certified EMTs. Both served in the Air National Guard, both in intelligence. Both hold MBAs from Western Governors University, Lean Six Sigma Black Belts, and OSHA 30.
Then the paths split. Lauren went into people, process, and the compliance side of operations, hospital systems, then federally regulated logistics. Justin went into incident response, risk, and security engineering, the fire service, then industrial emergency response, then risk and compliance program management at global scale.
Veskyra is those two paths coming back together. One of them has sat in the chair the software is for. The other has been accountable for the record afterward. Every Veskyra platform is designed by people who have done the work it supports.
No outside investors. No committee. When you email support, you get one of the two people who decided what the software would do.

Lauren Anderson
Founder & CEO- MBA
- Lean Six Sigma Black Belt
- OSHA 30
Lauren started out on an ambulance.
Straight out of high school she volunteered with her local volunteer fire department as a certified Indiana EMT, then worked for a private ambulance service before moving into hospital operations. She also served in the Indiana Air National Guard, in intelligence.
The decade that followed was spent inside regulated healthcare. She supervised more than forty people across six departments and two campuses, running the front end of the revenue cycle in a 24/7/365 environment, where registration accuracy is a compliance function, not clerical work. She was an Epic Super User through a hospital acquisition and later moved into a regional role supporting every campus in the region.
Most of the years that followed were spent as an HR Business Partner across a large operations network, and that's where the project work sat. She built a training program adopted across thirteen Southeastern locations. She ran an annual development program with a thirty-person planning team and more than fifty executive presenters. She sat on the site safety review board, reviewing violations, assessing contributing factors, and determining corrective actions.
From there she moved into air cargo operations, the most tightly regulated environment she'd worked in since the hospital, supporting sites across the network.
Learning and development was always the part of the work she sought out. Her passion projects lived there, and the thirteen-location training program and the annual development program both grew out of them. What that work taught her is the idea Korlea is built on: people get good at a job by practicing against the standard they will be held to, with someone coaching them through it.
Korlea is the platform she designed from it.
She had earned her Bachelor's in Business, Human Resource Management while working full time. In 2023 she left to finish her MBA, and used the same stretch to add a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and OSHA 30-Hour General Industry. Veskyra was built in those years.
Healthcare, air cargo, warehouse safety. Three regulated industries, three separate regulatory regimes, one underlying problem: records that have to be right, kept by people who are tired, under conditions nobody designed for. Lauren has been the person filing those records and the person accountable for them. Veskyra's platforms are built on what that taught her: the software should carry the weight, not the user.
Kyrvec was her first idea.

Justin Anderson
Co-Founder & CTO- Certified Safety Professional
- Master's, Cybersecurity
- MBA
- CompTIA PenTest+
Justin's title has changed a lot in twenty years. The job hasn't.
Incident response, then risk and compliance. Every role along the way has been a version of the same question: what happened, who needs to know, and what has to change so it doesn't happen again.
He learned it on the fireground, and he learned it in stages. He came up as a volunteer with Center Township Union Fire Department in Muncie, Indiana, a combination department, where he earned the bulk of his certifications. He then went career with a busy department, running heavy EMS volume as an EMT while continuing to serve as a volunteer at Center Township. From there the fire and hazmat side of that experience took him into industry: a leading pharmaceutical company, as a firefighter, where confined space entry and hazmat technician work were the job rather than the training scenario.
He holds Firefighter I and II, Airport Firefighter for aircraft crash and rescue, and Driver Operator Pumper; technician-level rope rescue, extrication, and vehicle and machinery rescue; Hazmat Technician; and command and instructional credentials through Fire Officer II, Fire Inspector II, Fire Investigator I, and Instructor III. Much of it is IFSAC-accredited. He remains an Indiana-certified EMT and previously held Advanced EMT. He also worked the Katrina and Rita response as a FEMA Disaster Assistance Employee, based out of Florida.
Reskyr is built for the kind of department he came up in.
From there he moved into the corporate world, with more than a decade of risk and compliance program management at global scale, and earned the BCSP Certified Safety Professional (CSP) credential. Alongside that career he served eight years in the Air National Guard as a Communications Intelligence Analyst.
The technical half of Veskyra is his. He holds a master's in cybersecurity and information assurance and a bachelor's in network engineering and security, alongside an MBA, and he started out administering networks and running help desk escalations freelance at nineteen. He never stopped being the person who actually builds the thing.
That matters more than it sounds like it does. A fire department's records are sensitive. A range's membership roster is sensitive. An OSHA log is a legal document. The person who decided how Veskyra stores those things holds CompTIA Security+, Cloud+, and PenTest+ and the Cloud Security Alliance's certificate in cloud security knowledge, and treats that as the floor rather than a feature.
We're building the company we'd want to buy from. That's the entire strategy.
A note on the name: "Ves-" echoes vessel, something built to carry what matters. "-skyr" draws on the Old Norse kyrr, meaning calm, steady. Veskyra: a steady vessel built to carry high-stakes work reliably. Every platform in the family is built to keep that promise.
