About openstatus
Openstatus is built by Thibault and Max — a bootstrapped, profitable two-person team building the open-source status page for teams who ship transparency.
Our story
We met on Twitter in 2023 and started building openstatus together. What began as an open-source side project driven by curiosity grew into a real business with real impact.
Along the way, we've learned that boring, reliable tech beats chasing trends every time. We're committed to building openstatus for the long term.
Built to last, not to flip
We're profitable and self-funded. No VC pressure, no growth-at-all-costs. This matters for you because:
- We build for customers, not investors. Every feature ships because it solves a real problem, not because it looks good on a pitch deck.
- We're not going anywhere. When your SOC 2 audit comes around next year, we'll still be here. And the year after that.
- We stay lean and fast. Two people, no bureaucracy. You can talk to the people who write the code.
Our mission
We're building the best open-source status page — connecting monitoring, incident communication, and compliance into a single platform. Transparent by default, for teams who believe their users deserve to know what's happening.
Frequently asked questions

It monitors websites, APIs, and services from 28 regions globally across multiple cloud providers. Openstatus is bootstrapped, profitable, and available both as a managed SaaS and for self-hosting.
Why is openstatus bootstrapped?
We're self-funded because it keeps us aligned with our customers, not investors. No VC pressure means we build features that matter to you, not features that look good on a pitch deck. We'll be here when your next SOC 2 audit comes around.
