Beginnings and early history
Yeti was founded by Anthony “Tony” Scherba and Rudy Mutter in 2010. The two cofounders met while attending Northeastern University, where they both double majored in computer science and business. Rudy and Tony individually started developing websites when they were teens, sites such as ratemybling.com. As their undergraduate studies were coming to a close, Tony called Rudy and proposed they start a company. A week after school ended, they were on their way to visit their first client.
Present Day
Yeti’s office is now located in a SOMA warehouse converted into a photostudio, then converted into a software invention workshop. They have worked with large tech firms in the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley, and have innovated software and hardware products alike.
Yeti is also active in the San Francisco development community. Cofounder Rudy Mutter organizes the San Francisco Django meet-up. He also teaches a public course on Django, a framework for web applications.
