Ramen provides behavior-driven questions for software founders, marketers, product managers, and customer success professionals. Currently, people building products use a hodgepodge of tools to get their jobs done. While each of these tools (UserVoice, SurveyMonkey, MixPanel, SalesForce, Intercom, Google Apps) may be built well, they weren't built with Product Success in mind. They were built for other functions. As a result, people only use a fraction of the functionality that each tool provides, and spread data about their users all over the place in the process. Ramen is the first software platform built from the ground up for product managers. It was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.

Mainframe — A decentralized network for censorship-resistant message routing. The need for a privacy and security focused communications ecosystem has never been higher. Distrust and centralized powers abound, with third parties monopolizing users’ information and governments imposing surveillance tactics on citizens inside and outside their borders. Each takes advantage of the same decades-old architecture on which the entire Internet is built. The Mainframe network is the messaging layer for the new web. This goes beyond human-to-human messaging. There are many use-cases and applications for reliably, privately, and securely routing data packets through the Mainframe peer-to-peer network. Mainframe is resistant to censorship, surveillance, and disruption. With the exception of a catastrophic asteroid event or an aggressive alien invasion, the Mainframe network is simply unstoppable. We build with five fundamental principles as our guide.

Peer5 operates the world’s largest peer-to-peer (p2p) content delivery network. Peer5's P2P CDN improves content delivery for live and on demand video streams.
