Overview
Vsimple builds an operational intelligence platform that connects people, systems, and processes for mid-market companies in manufacturing, distribution, construction, and professional services. Founded in Louisville in 2020, the company briefly operated from Southern Indiana before announcing HQ relocation back to Louisville in August 2025. Vsimple raised a $7M Series A in April 2025 led by Silverton Partners, with Kentucky investors including Render Capital and Keyhorse Capital participating per public coverage.
Why Vsimple is interesting
