Today's News | MongoDB Blog MongoDB CEO, Max Schireson, announced that the company has rebranded from 10gen to "MongoDB, Inc." as of August 27, 2013. The change is due to the acquisition of 10gen by a private equity firm, Tybourne Capital Partners, and subsequent investment from investors such as Breyer Group and General Catalyst Partners. The new name aims to emphasize MongoDB's growth beyond its origins as an open-source database. The company will now operate under a single brand identity, with Max Schireson continuing as CEO. The rebranding is intended to reflect the company's expanded scope and reach in the market.
