Founder story

Founded in 2020 by Or Weis and Asaf Cohen in Tel Aviv, Israel. Or, an experienced software leader, was tired of building the same authorization logic at every company he joined. They built Permit.io to turn 'Authorization' into a solved infrastructure problem, similar to how Stripe solved payments.
