Founded in 2014 by scientists who met at CERN, Proton was created with the mission to build a more private and secure internet that is accessible to everyone. The company is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, leveraging strong Swiss privacy laws to protect user data. Its first product, Proton Mail, is the world's largest encrypted email service. Since then, Proton has expanded its ecosystem to include Proton Calendar, Proton Drive, and Proton VPN, all designed with end-to-end encryption and a user-centric privacy model. The company is primarily supported by its community of users, rather than an advertising-based business model.
