Avalon and NHN are actually far from no name :)

Avalon has been our partner from our Series A and has funded some amazing startups like Indix, SkyCatch, Nanigans, CloudKick (YC S09), Chartio (YC S10), and Cloudant (YC S08). As an aside, Rich Levandov, who is on our board, was also one of the founders of Phoenix Technologies, creators of Phoenix BIOS

NHN is not well known in the valley, but it's Naver Corporation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naver_Corporation) which is one of South Korea's largest telecoms, and is also the parent company behind the Line messaging app.

We haven't talked much about it in our release, but one of the reasons we partnered with NHN is that there's a lot of need for data sovereignty in EMEA, and NHN is in a position to help us enter the asian markets.



What's your take on TiSA prohibitions against data sovereignty, http://www.innovationaus.com/tisa-threatens-data-sovereignty?


Congratulations! It is great to see more focus on data sovereignty and security.


Congrats Yuri! Well deserved.


Congrats, Yuri!
