About Convera
An independent firm, deliberately kept small enough to care
Founded in 2015 by two engineers who were tired of watching good technology decisions get made for bad commercial reasons. Forty-eight people today, and still no commission-paid sales team.
Our story
Why we started
Our founders spent a decade inside consultancies where the incentive was to sell more hours, and inside client organisations paying for those hours without ever seeing the code. Both sides lost.
Convera was built to remove that gap. Clients own everything we produce. Engineers talk directly to the people who will use what they build. Nobody in the company is paid a commission for closing work, which means nobody has a reason to sell you a project you do not need.
Eleven years later that has produced a business with 98% client retention and almost no marketing spend — most of our work arrives by referral from someone we told the truth to.
What we believe
Boring technology wins. We choose well-supported, widely-understood tools so your team can hire for them and we are never the only people who understand your system.
Estimates are forecasts, not promises. We give ranges, state assumptions and re-forecast openly. Padding a fixed price is just a hidden tax.
Handover is a deliverable. If your team cannot run what we built after we leave, the project failed regardless of how well it works today.
Leadership
The people accountable for your work
