Tiny Speck is the company that is building Glitch, founded by Stewart Butterfield and three other original Flickr team members in early 2009. They have two offices, with roughly the same amount of people working in each one. The coding staff work in their San Francisco office, and the creative department is in the Vancouver office.
They received angel funding of $1.5 million to start up in 2009, then acquired funding of a further $5 million in 2010 from Accel Partners and Andreessen Horowitz.
