So, who are the Matomo contributors?

Matomo Contributors

In 2005 it became apparent accurate data-driven decisions could now drive businesses … but this opened up questions like, where was data being stored? Who owned it? 

Struggling to find answers to these questions, Matthieu Aubry formed Matomo back in 2007, an open-source alternative to Google Analytics. Many data conscious individuals and businesses also chose to follow by taking this alternative route to ensure their valuable data remained in their own hands.

Matthieu found a passionate and hardworking team who shared his vision for a safer web. Together they dedicated countless hours to make Matomo (formerly Piwik) a reality. With this team and help from businesses, including InnoCraft, Mayflower, OpenX and Catalyst to name a few; Matomo quickly grew to become the #1 open-source analytics platform in the world, now used on over 1.4 million websites around the globe.

This team laid the foundation of what Matomo is today. 

We are forever grateful for the commitment, the time and the dedication they gave to this project, and for the passion each of them brought and continue bringing to the team.
