About

Meet Iku, the Turso.

Iku-Turso is a mythological Finnish sea creature that is an elemental force of nature. When we created Turso this seemed the ideal spirit animal for what we were building, and we named our mascot Iku.

How we work

Functionally Innovative

We are explorers.

We thrive on delivering trailblazing products that make developers lives easier and actually work.

Globally Remote

Twelve countries, nine time zones.

While technically San Francisco based, we are a truly globally distributed remote company.

Collaboratively Transparent

Everyone has a seat at the table.

Our users always sit at the head of the table, and their needs are our ultimate organising principle.
