About Vention

Vention is a New York-based custom software development firm founded in 2002, with over 3,000 engineers operating across seven global locations including London, San Francisco, Berlin, and Vilnius. The firm serves startups and large enterprises alike, with a client roster that includes PayPal, IBM, PwC, Mount Sinai, and Postman. Vention credits its engagements with contributing to more than $15 billion in client acquisitions, and the average client relationship exceeds 36 months. Core capabilities span custom software, AI development, mobile apps, QA, DevOps, and IT staff augmentation.

Who Vention Is Best For

Vention fits best for companies that need to move fast and need proven engineers on short notice, whether that's a startup augmenting a small internal team or an enterprise standing up a dedicated offshore pod. Their $50K minimum and hourly rates in the $50-$99 range put them within reach of growth-stage companies while still serving Fortune 500 clients. Organizations that want long-term embedded teams rather than one-off project vendors tend to get the most value here, given the average 36-month client relationship.

Why Choose Vention

Large pre-vetted engineer talent pool

Long-term client retention

Multi-timezone global delivery

Fast onboarding for staff augmentation

Strong project management consistency

Things to Consider

Minimum $50K project size excludes early-stage budgets

Large team size can mean less senior-partner attention

Not a fit for one-off small features or prototypes

Broad service range makes deep niche specialization harder to verify

Coordination overhead with distributed global teams

Vention's engineers bring a high degree of skill and expertise to our work at Imagen. They seamlessly integrate with existing technical teams and possess a breadth of technical knowledge in terms of software tools, technology platforms and cloud-based platforms/services (like AWS) which makes them very effective at contributing to our quarterly objectives and key results. I am highly satisfied with their services and would definitely recommend them to any company looking to shore up their technical teams.
