Work by JanRain

In 2005, Janrain founder, Larry Drebes, had recently relocated to Portland from the Bay area where he had completed a successful run with an earlier business that was acquired by Yahoo!. Quickly connecting with some of the early proponents of the OpenID protocol, Larry saw a potential solution for the growing challenge of user identity on the internet. Further research led to a business plan and a new company, Janrain, was up and running.
