CakeCodes was a technology company founded in 2014 by Calvin Hsieh and Simon Yu. The company was a result of a computer science project started by the founders while they were students at the University of Washington.
Calvin Hsieh, a computer science graduate, served as the co-founder and CTO, while Simon Yu, who had previously run a food truck business after leaving his banking job, was the co-founder and CEO. Their combined experiences in technology and business shaped the company's direction.
CakeCodes operated in the mobile advertising and blockchain technology sectors. The company's main product was BitMaker, a mobile application that rewarded users with cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, for interacting with advertisements, trying out new applications, and playing games. This model provided a cost-effective way for businesses to drive user engagement and traffic.
The company was based in Seattle, Washington, and has since evolved and rebranded into StormX, a platform focused on crypto cashback.
