Introducing our team, investors & more...

Authors

Last year, after incorporating vlt technology Inc., I began the search for key venture partners & founding team members. Today, I'm thrilled to unveil the exceptional people comprising our core team & the distinguished investors who share our bold vision.

Our Team

We're putting the band back together (left-to-right)

  • Isaac Z. Schlueter: creator of npm, former CEO of npm Inc. & Principal Engineer at GitHub post-acquisition; Previously led the Node.js project.
  • Darcy Clarke: previously, Staff Engineering Manager for both npm & gh CLI teams at GitHub, npm Inc. & Co-Founder of Themify; Passionate contributor to OpenJS Foundation projects & standards WGs.
  • Ruy Adorno: Node.js TSC member & Staff Software Engineer joining directly from Google. Previously, Ruy lead key product ships as part of the npm CLI team at GitHub, npm Inc. & numerous startups.

We've done this before, supporting the world's largest package manager & packaging ecosystem, contributing to the home of open source. We've found success together & are excited to be working together again.

Our Investors

Led by the renowned venture firm Accel, our recent capital raise attracted some impressive angels & seasoned operators. Among them included: Inovia Capital, Abstraction Captial, Guillermo Rauch, Feross Aboukhadijeh, David Cramer, Michael Jackson, Pete Hunt, Evan You & many more.

Our Mission

We care deeply about developer platforms & tooling, which is why we've spent so much time in this space. However, the packaging ecosystem has stagnated & so there is a wealth of opportunity to innovate. Our mission has always been to improve the developer experience, and we're thrilled to be working together on it again.

Our Future

We're excited to share what we're building & you can expect to learn more in the weeks & months to come. Sign up here to stay in the loop & be first to know about product launches & updates.
