BONUS EPISODE ALERT! Today we bring you exciting news, as 1Password has raised a round of funding in partnership with Accel. We are going to talk about how we got here, why Thai food played a significant role and why we looked to outside investment.

Dave discusses working at IBM before moving on to work on a contract and meeting Roustem. Together they joined World Vision, but started to dream of something bigger over lunch. Built on a passion for Macs and an excessive amount of Thai food, 1Password was born. Fast forward several years, we talk about the decision to hire a CEO and how Jeff grew the company to where we are today. Join us, as we reflect on what we've achieved in this time, and also how Accel's investment will continue this growth.
