“We allow developers to bake permissions into their products in an easy fashion in a way in a way that it's future proof. So they only have to build it once. They don't have to constantly rebuild it. I got to that as in my previous company, Rookout, I ended up rebuilding access control for our product five times in a three year old company.”
“Just like you don't want to build your authentication, just like you don't want to build billing, just like you don't want to build a database, there's no reason that you'll have to build authorization or permissions. So we provide them ready out of the box.”
“We monetize through a usage based pricing model. So you pay as you go according to the amount of users that you authorize. So the more users you have, the more you pay. And through that, we really try to align with the top line of both sides.”
