About Factor House

We’re helping developers wrangle real-time data streams with clarity, control and none of the fluff. Our tools are built by engineers, for engineers, making stream processing easier to manage and scale. Today, we offer Kpow and Flex, two powerful products that simplify Kafka and Flink for teams at companies like Hewlett Packard, Airwallex, NORD/LB, Block and a bunch of Fortune 500s.

Factor House started in Melbourne in 2019, born out of a need for more pragmatic, developer-first tooling. Since then, we’ve quietly grown our global customer base by word of mouth and recently raised a $5M seed round led by Blackbird and OIF to kick things up a notch.

We’re focused on building thoughtful products for developers and delighting our customers along the way.
