Starting as a group of friends, colleagues, and passionate professionals, we embarked on a shared dream of entrepreneurship, fuelled by our mutual love for exploration and travel. Embracing this journey has shaped us into who we are today.

With many years of collective experience at Google, Rich, Elaine, and Anthony gained invaluable insights into building teams and launching products at scale. Anthony's departure from Google to start Mighty Audio served as the impetus for bringing he, Rich, and Mark together to develop the first portable Spotify music player, which achieved global success, and has roots in Japan including advisory from Sony Electronics and investment from Avex Japan. Night Rider encapsulates the countless nights we've spent together, launching startups, exploring new ideas, and strengthening our bond as friends over glasses of Japanese whisky. These moments have inspired us and set us on a quest to introduce the first Japanese whiskey highball to the United States, reflecting our commitment to friendship and family.
