Varcode began as Yaron Nemet's vision for better protection of cold chain products. Nemet, a prolific inventor with nearly 100 patents, set out on a mission to enhance the temperature monitoring devices already in place by so many. Daniel Bergstein, a former Private Equity (PE) attorney turned successful PE investor, was immediately drawn to Nemet's creativity and technological innovation. Bergstein joined the mission to create a unique product that would revolutionize how temperature exposure is tracked over time while providing digitalized data.

Their journey began by developing an R&D lab, where the very first generation of Smart Tag™ (formally Freshcode) was hand-built. They conducted multiple in-lab and field tests to ensure the technology was effective and scalable across many food and healthcare use cases.

With the technology in place, they secured a manufacturing facility capable of mass production of our Smart Tags™. Now the ball was rolling. Varcode's Smart Tag™ technology has been validated by NSF labs, multiple universities, and multiple large pharmaceutical companies.

The founding duo confidently progressed, knowing the Varcode Smart Data Solution (VSDS) has all the makings of a disruptive technology poised to become the next generation of time and temperature monitoring for food and healthcare.

To enhance the company's growth, Gian Fulgoni and Joeseph Battoe, entrepreneurs and information services veterans, joined the Varcode team as Executive Chairman and CEO, respectively, with the mission to bring this exceptional technology and information to market.

As we continue to evolve, in July 2023, Dirk Van Peteghem stepped into the role of CEO, bringing with him a fresh perspective and a commitment to enhancing our technology further. Dirk’s extensive background, including leadership positions at UPS and McKesson as well as his significant strategy consulting experience, equips him with the unique insights and strategic vision necessary to lead Varcode into a new era of growth and success. His expertise in change management and digital strategy, combined with a deep understanding of the complexities of cold chain logistics, positions him to build upon Joe Battoe’s legacy and steer Varcode towards a future of innovation and excellence.

Our team continues to grow and is empowered by the continuous positive feedback and excitement from our prospects, customers, partners, and current investors.

We stand by our mission to provide SMART, accessible information and technology engineered to ensure product safety and measurably reduce waste while meeting global regulatory requirements for temperature-sensitive products.
