Ian Tien, Mattermost | GitLab Commit 2020
summary
Built from a crashed third‑party chat used inside a Y Combinator‑backed game studio, Mattermost claims full on‑prem control and privacy by shipping source for server and mobile push logic so enterprises can compile with their own certificates. The company reports 10 million hours of prior usage, raised $70M across Series A/B, bundles with Omnibus GitLab, targets real-time DevOps rather than async chat, and positions itself as an open-source Slack alternative that scales to large regulated customers.
