Japanese co-founders, US headquartered

Our co-founders, Yoshi and Hitoshi, are originally from Japan. Yoshi brings a financial services background and Hitoshi a technical one (including as a contributor to PostgreSQL).

The company is headquartered in California, and is a globally fully remote distributed company with 150 members in 25 countries. Now they’re turning their attention back on Japan, looking to build up a technical team there to work on the global product.
