Mattermost
Mattermost, Inc. is an international software company founded by CEO Ian Tien and CTO Corey Hulen that builds open source workplace messaging solutions. They have two products: a free version for small teams and premium enterprise-grade solutions for large organizations.[1]
Founded in 2015, Mattermost is a largely distributed company with physical presences in Palo Alto, California and Waterloo, Ontario.
History[edit]
Mattermost grew out of a game development company called SpinPunch.[2]
In 2014, SpinPunch had trouble with the messaging app they were using. When they tried to move to a new app, they found out they weren’t able to export their data without paying for it. Instead of signing up with Slack, another proprietary messaging app, and risking a potential repeat, the company decided to take the chat features they were building for a game and turn them into an enterprise-grade open source messaging solution called Mattermost.[3]
Funding[edit]
In February 2017, Mattermost, Inc. raised an undisclosed seed round. Investors include Y Combinator, StartX and Chris Klomp.[4]
