Announcing the Zulip Foundation: Kandra Labs Donated to Nonprofit, Founder Joins Anthropic

The Zulip open-source team chat project is transitioning to stewardship by the newly formed independent nonprofit Zulip Foundation, following the donation of Kandra Labs—the company that has overseen Zulip for a decade—to the foundation. Zulip founder Tim Abbott and three senior team members are stepping down from full-time leadership to join AI firm Anthropic; Kim Vandiver has been appointed Interim President of Kandra Labs to ensure a smooth transition, with core services like Zulip Cloud and support continuing uninterrupted, and the foundation will pursue charitable fundraising to support public-interest communities.
