As seen on
“We first met co-founders Jake Moshenko and Joey Schorr in 2013 when they were working on their first startup, Quay.io. When Quay was acquired by CoreOS in 2014, they ended up working with AuthZed’s third co-founder Jimmy Zelinskie and moved their operations into our old Work-Bench office where we got the opportunity to work alongside them for the next five years, including through CoreOS’ acquisition by Red Hat. During that time Jake, Joey, Jimmy, and the broader team were active participants in our community events such as Dev Lunches, Meetups, and more.”Â
