Qafoo founding the Tideways CompanyThis post is a personal post by Benjamin as the main developer and founder of Tideways.
Bejamin EberleiToday we have a very exciting announcement: Qafoo and I have launched a new company together to turn my side project Tideways into a fully-fledged business. Last year I realized that I wanted to work more on Tideways, but with my projects going on at Qafoo investing more of my free time into it was not going to be sustainable in the long run. So we started planning to found a company together last year in September.
Last week all the planning and paperwork was finally completed and we have all our required registrations, a Steuernummer and a VAT number. Open for business!
As the founder of the new Tideways GmbH I will now focus on improving the performance monitoring and profiling products. In turn I will reduce my work as trainer and consultant for Qafoo to a part-time job. I am very happy that I could convince Qafoo to co-found this company with me, as Kore, Manuel and Tobias will invest some of their time to support me pushing Tideways forward.
At Qafoo we will continue our focus on training, consulting, tooling and developer support services. These last month in particular we have been working on new content for our testing, quality-assurance and architecture services to serve our existing and new customers and are very happy with the progress and feedback.
In such a busy moment when founding a company, we also want to reflect on the current journey and who helped us get here. All our customers and partners deserve a big thank you for using and loving Tideways. We are especially indebted to Thomas, SysEleven and ScaleCommerce founder, who was excited to roll out the very first version of Tideways. Also our first users Till and his team at Imagine Easy Solutions, Stefan and Benjamin from Shopware, Anton and Henrik from Sixt and Christian, Malte and Tobias from crosscan have earned a special mention for pushing us in this direction. Thank You!
