Our mission is to empower businesses through meaningful, scalable search experiences.
Bonsai was developed by One More Cloud, a bootstrapped software firm that provides specialized hosted cloud services.

Based in Austin, Texas, our company is small and independent. Since day one, we’ve been self-funded, profitable, and beholden to our customers alone. We are driven to provide world-class experiences for developers and businesses.
