From day one, PingCAP was conceived and built to be a global technology company with global impact. With the GA 1.0 release of its flagship product TiDB in October 2017, PingCAP has gained significant adoption in the APAC region from leading companies like Mobike and Gaea. Opening a Silicon Valley office is a natural progression of its growth trajectory.

“Even before we wrote the first line of code, we wanted the impact of our vision to be global. That’s why we adopted the open source way from the beginning,” said Max Liu, co-founder and CEO. “I’m thrilled to be taking our first of many steps in pursuit of that mission.”

With a physical presence in Silicon Valley, PingCAP plans to aggressively drive product adoption in the U.S., build a strong local community of developers and contributors, and recruit a team of top-notch engineers and evangelists to further develop and raise awareness of its products.
