No Investors. No Outside Board. Just Unraid — with CEO Tiffany Jones | Uncast (Part 1 of 2)

<p>You’ve used Unraid. Now meet the person running the company behind it.</p><p>Ed Rawlings and Unraid CEO Tiffany Jones get into what the community actually wants to know — what the company stands for, what&#39;s coming to Unraid users soon, and what she&#39;ll protect no matter what. This isn&#39;t a product update. It&#39;s an honest look at the people, the culture, and the independence behind the OS you rely on.</p><p>Tiffany talks about growing up around Unraid, the four careers that led her to the top job, and how she and her father Tom split the business and the product. She takes the hard questions head-on: the worry that Unraid could drift the way other beloved products have, why the company stays bootstrapped with no investors, what “you own your license” actually means, and where a leaner, more accessible Unraid is headed — without taking anything away from the power users who’ve been here for years.</p><p>No VC. No private equity. No debt. A perpetual license you own outright. A team largely built from the community it serves. This is what’s behind the product.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://bit.ly/4wYv4DP" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Want to join the Unraid beta tester list?</strong> </a></p><p><br></p><p>Part 2 will have <strong>Unraid creator Tom Mortensen and Unraid Director of Product Eli Bosley</strong> reveal what’s next for the product itself.
