Scale Pesto (Digital Collaboration Tool)

Brand Origin and Evolution

Scale Pesto (originally known as Pesto) was founded in San Francisco, California, as a digital workplace platform designed to replicate the feel of an in-person office for remote teams. The product was created by the company Pesto, which focused on creating 'avatars' and virtual environments to enhance remote collaboration and communication.

Manufacturing and Development

As a digital software-as-a-service (SaaS) product, Pesto does not have a physical manufacturing location. Instead, its development and server maintenance are primarily based in the United States. In 2025, the Pesto team officially joined Scale AI, integrating their expertise in digital collaboration and engineering into Scale AI's platform.

Ownership and Current Status

The brand is now part of Scale AI, a leader in data labeling and AI infrastructure headquartered in San Francisco. Following the acquisition of the Pesto team, the product's assets and intellectual property are managed by Scale AI, which continues to drive innovation in the artificial intelligence and remote work sectors.
