About

CodeCrafters is a Concord, California-based programming education platform where experienced software engineers build real-world developer tools from scratch — creating Redis, Git, SQLite, HTTP servers, BitTorrent clients, and other foundational software components to deeply understand how these systems work rather than just learning to use them. Founded in 2022 and backed by $2.3 million in seed funding from notable angel investors including Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger and Dropbox co-founder Arash Ferdowsi, CodeCrafters is used by engineers at GitHub, Stripe, Microsoft, Apple, and NVIDIA.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
