Our Background

Stream was founded in the Netherlands before joining the prestigious Techstars accelerator. After attending Techstars in 2015, Stream raised $4.75M and now has offices in both Amsterdam and Boulder, Colorado.

With the success of their open source project, founders Thierry and Tommaso joined Techstars NYC with a vision to commoditize feed technology by making it easy for any app to have scalable, feature-rich activity feeds in their applications. Now thousands of companies are powering their feeds with Stream and enjoying the benefits of increased engagement, retention and conversion that in inherent to feeds.

In the past startups like Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Facebook, Quora, and Friendster had to invest a huge amount of resources into their feed tech. A new generation of startups leverage services such as Stream and focus on the unique aspects of their business instead of reinventing feed tech.

In 2019 Stream launched Chat, a highly scalable API with corresponding UI Kit and React Components. The social interaction layer of apps is easier than ever to build with Stream.

As an API provider we're faced with several challenges. First of all thousands of production applications rely on Stream. We maintain very high standards for uptime and stability. Secondly we face substantial scaling challenges to handle the traffic of millions of users. The third, and perhaps most exciting challenge is our personalized feeds functionality. It relies on a combination of analytics, big data and machine learning.

Team Building

Weekly team lunches, craft coffee and regular team events provide a balance to the hard work we put in to build and support our products. We make sure we celebrate important milestones together to acknowledge the hard work that makes each success possible.

We are committed to open source culture(winds, cabin, virtual go) and laser-focused on product quality, performance, and reliability. Our culture is centered around accelerating innovation, product development, and growth while having fun and occasionally traveling to work with your colleagues in Amsterdam or Boulder.

Create and Innovate

Every member of Stream has the chance to make an impactful contribution to our company. Design, engineering, DevOps, data science and sales all work together to build amazing products.

Every individual at Stream brings several unique talents to the company. We encourage transparency with everyone's skills and expertise so that there is a good amount of knowledge transfer. No individual is going to be perfect at or know everything, yet we value team members who want to learn, especially from their colleagues. It’s important that the team trusts each other so that they feel free to talk openly about when they need help. Creativity thrives when the team is learning from each other.

Feeds are the core of the world’s most popular applications, but are very difficult for development teams to build, scale, and maintain. Stream is leading the way in providing feed technology as a third-party service and their rapid growth is a testament to the great value they provide their customers. We are thrilled to partner with this world-class team as they continue to build the market.
