Being young means sharing in a world of wonder, magic and imagination. We believe that a child’s imagination is the world’s most valuable asset and should never be stifled or trifled with. We will do everything within our ability to protect the world’s wonder and defend the imagination. We will never tell you to grow up, get a job, or go inside. Nothing is more important to us than play with family and with friends, and we therefore strive to create innovative toys than spark nostalgia, creativity, and spontaneous laughter. Anything we can do to empower kids, urge them to create and imagine, and help them develop self confidence – these are the things that make us happy. Our products are made by big kids, for kids.

    Altiris was created by spinning the provisioning and imaging software from Keylabs, inc. when sold to Exodus. Exodus didn't want the software, may have had other options in sight. Under Ralph Yarro, Canopy funded the needed $9m to execute the Altiris plan exclusively, because no local money supported the $25 pre money valuation. Canopy held 80% of Altiris at this point. Barely two years later, Altiris closed a pre IPO round lead by TCV at a pre money of $125 million. Altiris went public in 2002 and ultimately sold for $830 million. Ralph Yarro served as original investor, and later chairman of the board.
