# Jitbit

> Jitbit is a bootstrapped help desk and ticketing software company founded in 2005 by Alex Yumashev and Max Al Farakh. Run by a tiny, fully remote team with no outside funding, it sells both self-hosted and cloud versions of its ticketing system to enterprise clients including Siemens, HP, Philips, Oracle, Adobe, Dell and ESPN - competing directly with far larger and better-funded players like Microsoft, Ivanti, EasyVista, Gladly and Kustomer.
