We’ve established Doorkeeper Inc!

We’re excited to announce that we’ve established Doorkeeper Inc, a company that will operate the Doorkeeper service.

Previously, Doorkeeper was a service provided by Mobalean LLC, which we established at the end of 2008 as a Japanese mobile web development consultancy. As a fun side project, we worked on what would become Doorkeeper, which we launched in July 2010 to the public. Thanks to all the great communities using our platform, we’ve grown from a tool for a single event to a system trusted by thousands of event organizers.

Doorkeeper Inc is led by two of Mobalean’s founders, Paul McMahon and Michael Reinsch. Mobalean’s third founder, Henri Servomaa will continue to manage Mobalean LLC.

What changes?

Besides the sharpened focus we’ll have going forward, the only notable change to Doorkeeper right now will be when participants prepay for an event using PayPal. On the PayPal checkout screen, our ¥105 ticket fee will show up as “Doorkeeper Inc” instead of “合同会社モバリーン”. This should make it easier for participants to understand what this fee is for.

Meet us!

This Friday, the Doorkeeper team will be appearing alongside many other great startups at this business expo in Tokyo.
