Company Overview
Fleek was founded in 2020 by Harrison Hines and Saurabh Pradeepwar, headquartered in San Francisco, California. Fleek is a decentralized web hosting platform that makes deploying web applications and sites more open, censorship-resistant, and decentralized.
Fleek is built on IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), Filecoin, and Arweave decentralized storage networks, offering a one-click deployment experience comparable to traditional CDN hosting. Developers can deploy static sites and web applications to decentralized infrastructure via Git integration or CLI tools, with automatic ENS (Ethereum Name Service) resolution and SSL certificates.
