ABOUT VAST

Vast builds the operating and financial backbone for fast-growing, cash-intensive businesses, combining hands-on execution with purpose-built software, automation, and AI-enabled workflows.

We provide technology-enabled shared services, financial infrastructure, and operational support to partners across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, with deep roots in route gaming and other multi-location businesses.
