**We are Veli, a fast-growing startup with a clear mission: using energy data to make homes safer.** Our AI detects emergencies from electricity and water consumption and automatically triggers help, enabling seniors to live longer and more independent at home.

Leading providers in assisted living and emergency call services already rely on Veli. We are backed by experienced investors and industry experts from tech, energy and care. With the nationwide smart meter rollout, we are seizing the unique chance to scale Veli into millions of households.
