Who Are We

During their sporting careers, founders James Begley and Matthew Pavlich encountered the inefficient and ad hoc way that talent appearances were managed, even in professional environments. The systems clubs and leagues used were often too reliant on archaic spreadsheets and human input.

Understanding the problem, the pair began creating a technology that would help organizations and administrators centralize and automate the logistics associated with deploying talent into talent activations.

VLAST was born to increase the talent experience, reduce administrative costs, and reduce human error.
