Old problem, new $25B+ market
The team at Oso has gets out of bed everyday to think about roles and permissions. Why?
We’ve spoken with 1,000+ engineering teams, who without fail report a “Groundhog Day” experience of building and maintaining authorization systems time after time throughout their careers. Authorization is the mechanism that controls who has access to what in an app. It’s a problem as old as computers, and it turns out, it’s a hard problem.
The next billion developers will not learn to write (and later, debug) custom if statements for permissions – they’ll tweak a pre-configured authorization system, and that system will be Oso.
Why Oso?
Oso is used by thousands of companies from startups to the Fortune 500, like Wayfair, Arc, Intercom, Visa, Chief, Arc and Productboard. We have met with thousands of engineering teams over the last 3+ years and know more about this problem than any team in the market. This fuels our customer-centric approach to building.
We’re also backed by the world’s best investors, including Sequoia, Felicis and infrastructure entrepreneurs like Dev Ittycheria (CEO, MongoDB), Arman Dadgar (Founder, Hashicorp), Edith Harbaugh (Founder, LaunchDarkly), Guy Podjarny (Founder, Snyk), Paul Copplestone, (Founder, Supabase), Christina Cacioppo (Founder, Vanta), and Calvin French-Owen (Founder, Segment).

- Help developers discover Oso. Get the word out on Oso, inspire users and help them adopt it with demos and sample apps, blog posts, tutorials, and videos, plus talks at meetups, conferences and on podcasts.
- Be a strong supportive force in the developer community: You are helpful and supportive by nature, and get energy from helping developers solve problems.
