About
We're building the writing tool we always wanted.
Veloraz started in a Lisbon café in 2024 with a shared frustration: every AI writing tool either killed your voice or drowned you in settings. So we built the opposite.
Our story
A small team, shipping in public.
We're six people spread across four time zones. Between us we've shipped products at Stripe, Figma, Notion, and Linear — and watched the same pattern play out every time: good writing compounds, bad writing disappears.
Veloraz is our bet that writing tools should feel like a thoughtful co-writer, not a settings panel. That AI should get out of your way the moment it's done helping. And that the best software is small, sharp, and obvious.
We're profitable, independent, and fully remote. We take our time where it counts, and we ship weekly.
Values
What we believe, out loud.
Voice first
AI should amplify how you already sound — not flatten it into corporate soup.
Speed matters
Every extra second between idea and draft is a tax on your creativity.
Respect the reader
We optimize for shipped writing that people actually want to read.
Privacy by default
Your drafts are yours. We never train models on your content.
Made with users
Every feature ships in the open, co-designed with the writers using it.
Small is a feature
We stay small on purpose. It keeps us honest, focused, and fast.
The team
Six humans, zero hierarchy theater.
