History
Prior to founding Wasabi, Friend and Flowers co-established Carbonite, a company specializing in online backup services. Additionally, David Friend has been the founder of several other firms including ARP Instruments, Computer Pictures, Pilot Software, and Faxnet.[2]
Initially operating under the name "BlueArchive," the organization later adopted the name "Wasabi Technologies, Inc." inspired by the Japanese horseradish known for its spiciness.[1]
