THE FOUNDING STUDIOS PROGRAMME 2026—27
We’re building the
studio workspace
you wish existed.
And we’re asking the people who actually run creative businesses to help us get it right. Real projects. Honest feedback. A better Veyra.
Professional studios wanted. No paid endorsement or positive review required.

01 WHY WE’RE DOING THIS
Your work is complicated.
Your software shouldn’t be.
We know the routine. The enquiry in your DMs. The contract somewhere else. The invoice in another tab. The gallery upload you’re checking at 1 a.m.
Veyra brings your client work into one connected space: the projects, money, galleries and details that make a studio run.
We’ve built the tools. Now we want experienced creatives to challenge the experience. Tell us where it works, where it gets in your way, and what would make you stay.
02 MEET THE PLATFORM
One client.
Everything connected.
A creative-business workspace designed around the journey, not a collection of disconnected tools. Start free — whether or not you join our research programme.

03 HOW THE PARTNERSHIP WORKS
We want your expertise.
Not a five-star review.
We’ll learn from the way your studio actually works, not give you a scripted list of nice things to say.
Let's see if it's a fit.
We review real working studios and invite shortlisted applicants to a conversation. Proof of activity may be requested with client details hidden.
Test. Challenge. Improve.
Selected studios join a 90-day programme, receive £100/month for agreed research activities and work directly with our team. Your feedback can be critical.
04 WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
A working studio.
A genuine opinion.
We’re prioritising established creatives with regular paid work. You don't need thousands of followers, a fancy website, or a full-time team.
See the application01
You have paying clients.
You regularly manage genuine client projects, from wedding commissions to portrait sessions and commercial work.
02
You can show your work.
An active studio website, portfolio or professional profile is enough to start. Shortlisted applicants may be asked for redacted proof of recent bookings.
03
You have time for the process.
Expect onboarding, structured hands-on testing and two feedback sessions per month. We'll confirm the specific expectations before selection.
04
You’ll tell us what’s wrong.
Useful criticism beats polite compliments. Compensation isn’t dependent on praise, public posts or recommendations.
05 FOUNDING STUDIOS APPLICATION
Let’s hear
your story.
Tell us a little about your studio. It’s a short application, not an audition. We want to know what you do and what you wish worked better.

GOOD TO KNOW
Applying isn't the same as creating a Veyra account. No payment is required to apply. We won't ask you to disclose a client’s personal information or upload private documents in this form.

In the meantime, explore VeyraAN OPEN INVITATION
Not here for the research?
You’re still invited.
You don’t need a place in the programme to use Veyra. Bring one project, one client or one gallery, and see whether it earns a place in your studio.

06 THE SMALL PRINT, CLEARLY
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Is every applicant paid £100 per month?
No. The £100 monthly stipend applies only to studios selected for a 90-day research agreement. Applying does not guarantee selection or payment.
How are studios selected?
We consider real paid-work activity, portfolio authenticity, fit with the workflows being studied and availability for testing. We may request redacted proof and a short conversation after shortlisting. There is no guaranteed response date.
What if the current group is already selected?
We show the current programme status above the form. When a paid cohort is full, you can register interest in future research instead. A future invitation or stipend is not guaranteed.
Do I need to switch my whole studio to Veyra?
No. Start with a small, suitable workflow. Selected studios agree to a testing plan. Keep independent backups and established delivery arrangements for irreplaceable client work.
Do I need to promote Veyra?
No. This is paid product research, not a review or endorsement scheme. We value honest and critical feedback. Any future promotional collaboration would be discussed separately and disclosed.
Can I just use Veyra without applying?
Absolutely. Veyra has a free account option. You can explore the platform without joining the Founding Studios Programme.
