Miguel Carranza
FounderI'm a software engineer from Seville, Spain. I got my first computer at 8 years old and fell in love with technology. I moved to Silicon Valley to work at a startup called Elevate, which was awarded Apple's App of the Year in 2014. At Elevate, I met my co-founder Jacob and we learned first hand how challenging it is to implement in-app subscriptions. We decided to start RevenueCat, to make sure developers can make a living doing what they love, without having to focus on boring infrastructure.
Jacob Eiting
FounderI was an iOS engineer who got really mad at StoreKit one day and decided to do something about it.
Origins
Miguel and Jacob worked together on an app called Elevate, that happened to be selected as Apple’s app of the year in 2014, 2 months after they converted it to a subscription app. What followed was a comedy of errors as they realized that scaling a business on Apple’s subscription system was way more difficult than it should be. After building a ton of bespoke in-house infrastructure to extract even the simplest data, they decided to see if building this as a service would work.
