Curvegrid is a blockchain software company
Our core product MultiBaas allows both independent developers and enterprise companies to rapidly prototype and build blockchain applications.
Curvegrid was founded in 2017 by Jeff Wentworth and William Metcalfe who saw the potential of blockchain and wanted to help build a whole new industry
To learn more about blockchain technology, Jeff and William went to the Consensys conference in New York in 2017 where they prototyped a decentralized warehouse management system for the Consensus 2017 hackathon.
They won the Consensys Academy Prize for their entry but realized something while building it: blockchain was still early and was missing the kinds of tools that modern developers use to efficiently build large scale applications.
To solve this problem, Curvegrid assembled a world-class team of blockchain engineers and set out to create MultiBaas, the missing platform that would make developing on the blockchain both efficient and approachable.
