Avepoint, Inc.
A maker of software that backs up, protects, and governs data for the cloud tools businesses rely on daily, including Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Salesforce, and Google Workspace. It got its start in 2001, when two founders began building backup software for Microsoft Exchange in a public library in Somerset, New Jersey. The name AvePoint was coined by co-founder Kai Gong, inspired by the avenues of New York City, which he saw as a place where people, ideas, and energy merge.
