Roadmap

"Rome wasn't built in a day, but they were laying bricks every hour."

Since Q1 2024, the Vertical team has been working hard to reach our goals. Starting small, we’re getting more mature and achieving more and more milestones. Our roadmap gives you a peek of what we accomplished and where we're heading. For readability we've divided the roadmap into a Product roadmap and a Community & Business roadmap
