BalloonBox was incorporated in Vancouver, BC in Feb 2020 and initially started off as a data science studio. Staying grounded in our data science background, BalloonBox started providing software engineering services.
The eventuality of diving deep into Web3 was an inevitability as BalloonBox once more broadened its value offering to Web3 services towards the end of 2021.
We value challenging problems, working with ethical businesses and creating harmonious relationships between business problems and technology.
Our team is based on-site at our office
at 999 Canada Place, Vancouver.
