Why VettedDev
We’re not a dev shop.
We’re the team that helps you find the right one and make the right decision.
VettedDev exists because selecting a software development partner is high-stakes, high-risk, and far too important to leave to chance, Google searches, or Upwork reviews.
We are an independent, vendor-agnostic consulting agency that helps SaaS founders and C-Suite executives from North American SMBs confidently identify, evaluate, and select the best custom software development partners for their business needs.
We don’t write code.
We don’t sell development services.
We work for you.
A Word from Our Founder
“I’ve sat on both sides of the table.
As a tech executive at a North American SaaS company, I experienced firsthand the pain of finding a reliable development partner—from missed expectations to unclear capabilities, especially with remote teams in Latin America.
Later, as a VP of Sales for Eastern European software firms, I saw the other side: great vendors struggling on misaligned projects—not because they were bad, but because even strong teams aren’t great at everything.
That’s the insight VettedDev was built on: Choosing the right dev shop isn’t about finding the best—it’s about finding the best fit.
Serg Panasenko, Founder at VettedDev
When You Need an Advisor, Not Another Dev Shop
Software projects fail more often because of the wrong partner than the wrong idea.
Choosing a software development company without deep expertise in vendor evaluation often leads to:
❌Misaligned capabilities
❌Missed deadlines
❌Blown budgets
❌Lost market opportunities
VettedDev was created to fix that.
We bring decades of real-world experience in SaaS, digital transformation, and engineering leadership to help you:
✅Select the right dev house faster and with less risk
✅Protect your budget by aligning expectations from day one
✅Move forward confidently, knowing your vendor can deliver
