Today 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!
