At Fond, we help organizations around the world create work environments that employees love, making it as easy as possible for companies to manage reward and recognition programs. With Fond, you can create important moments for your employees without manually managing plans or tracking gift card purchases. Since graduating from law school, Taro Fukuyama, co-founder and CEO of Fond, has been following the technology industry, reading blogs and keeping up with new technology trends. He is very fascinated by the world of technology and has decided to start his own company in San Francisco. Taro and Fond co-founder Sunny Tsang first met during Taro's visit to Silicon Valley. Both of them are passionate about entrepreneurship and moved to the United States in 2011 to start a company. They had no funds or resources, and in order to pursue their dreams, they left their friends and family in Asia. After months of fundraising attempts and failures, the two drove to Redwood City to meet with potential investors. They borrowed a car from a friend and decided to spend the night at the 24-hour Taco Bell parking lot as they didn't have much money to pay for the trip. This is their first business trip, office and hotel. After being asked to leave, Taro and Sunny found a budget hotel with only single rooms. They lived and worked in this room for several months, promoting their company to hundreds of investors. Every day they believe that the next day will change the game rules, but time is running out. They still have one last chance: the TechCrunch Disrupt conference is just a few days before Taro and Sunny leave San Francisco. At the conference, they contacted Paul Graham from Y Combinator, who encouraged them to apply. In January 2012, they were admitted and Fond was established. Taro and Sunny were the first Japanese YC founders approved to join the program. Fond has been providing company benefits to employees since 2012, and has been offering employee rewards and recognition since 2014. Fond is continuing to expand and opened a second office in Portland, Oregon in August 2018. As of now, Fond is one of the leading reward and recognition solutions for companies that want to easily create a workplace that employees love.
