The Company
At MODE, We are driven to find endless possibilities to help organizations more easily leverage their data & insights that improve operations, safety, & efficiencies through the use of IOT & AI.
The Start
It all started between two best friends and a Raspberry Pi. NOT that Raspberry pie… it was the small computer board -Raspberry Pi.
With the California drought in mind, Gaku (our Founder) programmed it to do the job. AND It worked amazingly!
He shared his excitement with his buddy, Ethan (our Co-Founder) and they both started thinking about the endless possibilities with adding more computing power and features..
Well…that’s how MODE was born!
At MODE, Inc., we hire great people and challenge them to do great things. We provide opportunities to build skills and constantly challenge each other to get out of our comfort zones in order to grow personally and professionally.
The Customer is our Partner
