Founding Story
Christian Bach (Chris Bach) co-founded Netlify in 2014 alongside Mathias Biilmann. He was absolutely critical in coining and evangelizing the 'Jamstack' (JavaScript, APIs, and Markup) architecture, fundamentally changing how modern frontend developers build and deploy incredibly fast, headless websites without managing backend servers.
