Prospect One

What Prospect One does

Prospect One is a privately held IT services and infrastructure company headquartered in Krakow, Poland, with a team of 1–10 employees. The firm sells outsourced technical expertise to organizations that need web development, design, web performance optimization, multi-CDN management, load balancing and failover, server management, and hosting but lack the internal capacity to run these functions full time. Its market posture is direct-to-consumer, driven by a portfolio-first website experience and a contact-based sales motion.

The company's core differentiator is a portfolio of owned infrastructure and analytics products that underpin its services. jsDelivr is a free open-source multi-CDN with automatic load balancing and failover; GlobalPing is a community-powered network-testing platform; DNSPerf processes 40M+ DNS tests per day across 200+ locations; CDNPerf compares CDN providers based on billions of monthly tests; PerfOps benchmarks public and private IT infrastructure; DNSMap checks DNS propagation; and CloudPerf offers custom endpoint monitoring. Collectively these assets run on 400+ directly managed servers and serve more than 5B DNS queries and 100B HTTP requests per month, providing unique telemetry that feeds both product usage and the firm's performance-data services.

Monetization spans three streams: professional services (custom web application development in PHP, Node.js, JavaScript, and Golang), managed services (infrastructure and server management, hosting, multi-CDN orchestration, load balancing/failover), and data monetization (raw or processed performance data, customized benchmarking, and API access to DNS/CDN analytics). Customer segments consist of organizations needing IT outsourcing and of technology companies and developers seeking DNS/CDN performance data and benchmarking; an explicit client relationship with Speedchecker is disclosed, and the firm maintains operations across Europe and the United States.
