About

teia.cafe Inc. was started as a company to support the activities and efforts around the Teia arts community—the successor to the legendary Hic et Nunc movement of 2021. Teia was born in 2022 as a democratized fork of HEN, formalized into a non-profit DAO, TEIA DAO LLC. teia.cafe began in 2023 as a music-focused project for Teia and was incorporated as its own C-Corp in 2025.

Everything teia.cafe does is blockchain-based: no database, no login, no tracking. You connect with one wallet and the blockchain takes care of the rest—immutable, transparent, and verifiable.

We're a two-person founding team: Ryan Tanaka (CEO, crypto since 2013) and Johannes Simon (CTO, full-stack developer with systems architecture expertise). As core members of the Teia DAO multisig, we work at the intersection of community, commerce, and infrastructure - liaising with investors, foundations, DeFi partners, and the wider Tezos ecosystem to keep everything aligned.
