Together they spun the company out as ZeroTurnaround and received funding by Webmedia in 2009.

The project yielded not only this commercial enterprise, but was also the center of Kabanov's Ph.D. thesis under his advisor Varmo Vene, Head of the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Tartu. His thesis title was Towards a more productive Java EE ecosystem. As of 2014, and according to Kabanov, the product is in use at 3,500 organizations in 80 countries.[3][6][7]
