About

Built by practitioners

VendorVigilance was built by a clinical QA professional who spent years managing the exact processes the platform supports. He partnered with two co-founders who have built and run SaaS products together for nearly two decades.

Who we are

The company

VendorVigilance is built and operated by Mayet, a software company specialising in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry.

The story

The product he wished he had

  1. Tom Lazenby spent his career inside the clinical trial oversight system: monitor, QA manager, QA programme lead.

    At every organisation he joined, he found himself building or rebuilding systems, but when it came to vendor management there was no true solution to this complex process.

  2. VendorVigilance exists because Tom built the product he needed and couldn't find. He partnered with Neyts Zupan and Dejan Murko, software entrepreneurs with nineteen years of shared experience building and operating SaaS products, to make it real.

  3. Together they founded Mayet in 2023.
