The Genesis of FOSA

The idea for FOSA emerged from a personal pain point experienced by Kevin Wang as a developer. He recognized that the compliance and security checks often required lengthy processes that hindered productivity, particularly in a landscape increasingly reliant on open-source components. His conviction was fueled by the belief that a team unburdened by these bureaucratic hurdles could develop superior software. As the open-source movement gained momentum around 2013-2014, he saw an opportunity to create a company that catered specifically to the needs of developers by simplifying their access to third-party code.
