Veraxiss

A studio where every product starts with a real problem — and refuses to ship until the answer is honest.

It started with a frustration — not with a product, but with a pattern. Most software optimises for the metric that looks good in a demo, not the problem it claims to solve. Strip it back and ask does this actually help? — and the answer is usually no.

The word verax kept coming up. Latin, meaning truthful. Not politely honest — truthful in the way a good measurement is truthful. Unambiguous. Not telling you what you want to hear.

Veraxiss — the truthful axis — became the filter. Every product has to start from a real person and a real friction point. If it can't pass that test, it doesn't ship.

01

Real problems only

We don't build solutions and go looking for problems to fit them into. Every product starts with a specific person, a specific friction, and a specific moment where something breaks down.

02

Zero friction, zero bloat

The right product does exactly what it promises and nothing else. Features aren't achievements — they're obligations. Every one we add is a commitment to maintain, a thing that can break, a layer a user has to learn.

03

Honest metrics

We track what matters. Not vanity numbers that make a deck look good — retention, task completion, whether the Telegram notification actually helped someone remember their kid's permission slip.

04

Ship, then improve

Perfect software that doesn't exist helps no one. We ship when the core promise is delivered, then let real usage tell us what matters next. The roadmap is written by users, not assumptions.

Founder · Product Analyst · Builder

Chicago, Illinois

"The goal was never to build a company. It was to fix things that annoyed me — and it turns out those things annoyed other people too."

Kanal is a Computer Science graduate from the University of Illinois Chicago with a background in product analytics, system design, and full-stack engineering. Before Veraxiss, he built a full-stack ERP for a manufacturing firm, a constraint-based workforce scheduling platform, and an algorithmic trading system for Indian equity markets.

The common thread: taking real, messy, human workflows and finding the smallest possible system that makes them clean. That instinct — find the real problem, build the honest solution — is what Veraxiss is built on.

He currently works at the intersection of data and product, and is open to Product Analyst, Product Operations, and Analytics Engineering roles where those two worlds collide.
