In addition to Jeffrey Moon who originally came from South Korea, each member of his team has a multinational background so the app has been available both in English and Japanese since its initial launch. What makes Everest App quite different from other event managing apps such as Peatix is focus on helping users manage their personal events and community because Everest App intends users to plan their events by  leveraging their social graph and share experiences with attendees only.

The team says they plan to launch an Android version in February.
