# Experience Matters
We were fortunate to be part of the first rollout of the Internet in the early 1990s.
Our team has multiple world records for scaling projects on the Internet, invented the first data deduplication system for backup, the first ultra scalable distributed storage system using forward-looking error correcting codes, one of the first cloud systems, the first always consistent distributed database, and the first decentralized operating system using blockchain technology. The team has achieved over +500m USD in exits to Sun Microsystems, Western Digital, Verizon, Symantec, and others.
Our ThreeFold system brings us back to the Internet as originally conceived. A collaborative and community-based network of compute, storage and network resources, peer-to-peer connected and delivered by all. Only this time, we can use advanced technologies and structures which were only developed very recently.
