Ditto is building a distributed database that enables data syncing across edge devices and the cloud, even with limited internet connectivity. Founded by Adam Fish and Max Alexander, Ditto's platform emerged as a solution to the challenges exposed by the pandemic, which highlighted the need for contactless applications that can function effectively without relying on constant internet access. By allowing data to be stored and synced peer-to-peer across mobile and edge devices, Ditto reduces the risk of downtime and revenue loss for businesses.

The company has already gained traction, with tens of thousands of customers including major brands like Alaska Airlines, Japan Airlines, Hugo, and Lufthansa. Ditto also maintains several active government and military contracts, including a deal worth up to $950 million with the U.S. Air Force. With $54 million raised to date from top investors like Acrew Capital, True Ventures and Amity Ventures, Ditto is well-positioned to expand its platform and customer base.

Joining Ditto means being part of a mission to build the world's next great database that runs everywhere. However, Ditto faces competition from established players in the enterprise file sync and share space (Microsoft, Dropbox, Box). And as with any early-stage startup, there is inherent uncertainty in navigating the path from initial customer traction to market leadership.
