OB1 was founded in 2015 after a year of development on OpenBazaar by a small team in their spare time. They saw the concept of decentralized trade gain enthusiatic support in the Bitcoin community, and decided to accept venture capital funding in order to build a company and hire a development team to build OpenBazaar into something that could revolutionize ecommerce.
