## Our story
In the summer of 2013, we started working on a project that became ascribe, blockchain-based intellectual property (IP) attribution.

With a public store of attribution and provenance, blockchain technology could solve this. So we raised some money, hired a few early employees and kept working on the product until we were satisfied enough to release it, built on the Bitcoin blockchain.

From the seed of the idea, to intense efforts starting late summer 2015, we made the announcement in February 2016. What initially started as a “let’s solve our own problem” approach almost immediately turned into something much bigger than we expected.

The result is BigchainDB, a scalable blockchain database for the world.
