It\u2019s the first multi-channel marketplace where individual investors get the perks of company ownership, companies create a community of engaged, informed and loyal individual investors, and everyone is invested in the company\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Why Stockperks, and What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n<p>From day one as a public company, we\u2019ve tried to engage our community as deeply as possible. From inviting customers to participate in our initial public offering, gathering investor questions through the SAY Connect platform prior to earnings calls, and now, this new partnership with Stockperks\u2014our approach reflects our customer-centric approach as a business since we were founded. Growing a public company and investing in public companies can be best viewed as long-term commitments, and our engagement with the community is the same.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also pleased to share that in Q4 of this year we plan to launch our \u201cStocks and Storage\u201d video blog (vlog). In the tradition of our widely-read blog, our goal with Stocks and Storage vlog is to provide useful, relevant information to our viewership. But while our blog primarily focuses on storage topics, the Stocks and Storage vlog aims to demystify financial topics (what exactly is EBITDA, anyway?) from the perspective of a newly-public technology company in Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n<p>We thank you for your support and interest, and look forward to continuing our journey together on our mission to make storing, using, and protecting that data astonishingly easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Backblaze is launching a perks program with Stockperks, offering a new level of engagement for our shareholder community.
