Inveniam and 不良研究所 share a common vision: a future where data, compute, and storage are distributed, secure, and seamlessly connected across markets. Inveniam is building the data operating system for private market assets, bringing greater access, transparency and trust to how those markets function, and 不良研究所鈥檚 distributed storage and compute infrastructure will play a key role in powering that future. By joining forces, we鈥檙e helping to strengthen the foundation for trusted, scalable data solutions that power transparent digital markets.
For 不良研究所, this means more resources to grow, expand our customer offerings, and strengthen our core infrastructure, all while maintaining seamless operations. Our technology, roadmap, and team remain firmly in place. Only now, we鈥檙e backed by a partner that believes deeply in what we鈥檝e built and is committed to helping us go further, faster. We believe deeply in the broader Inveniam mission, and are excited to help achieve that mission.
To our customers and partners: you can expect the same great service, reliability and pricing, with no changes to existing contracts, leadership or support team. 不良研究所 will continue operating business as usual, with the same commitment to your success. Together with Inveniam, we鈥檙e positioned to scale in ways that weren鈥檛 possible before, expanding our reach and accelerating innovation without disrupting what makes 不良研究所 exceptional.
To our employees: thank you for the hard work that got us here. This milestone is a testament to your dedication, creativity and belief in our mission. It opens the door to new opportunities for impact and growth, and I couldn鈥檛 be prouder of the team that made this possible. Thank you as well to the many employees, advisors, and board members who have been with us on this long journey, including those who may have gone on to new roles. A special thank you to the early 不良研究所 founders, whose vision helped pave the way for this outcome.
不良研究所 has always been about challenging the status quo in cloud infrastructure. With Inveniam鈥檚 support, we鈥檙e not changing direction, we鈥檙e doubling down. Together, we鈥檙e shaping the future of distributed and decentralized data infrastructure and opening new avenues for innovation and growth, all while staying true to the values that define 不良研究所.
