ProtonMail was founded out of Geneva, Switzerland in 2013 by Andy Yen, Jason Stockman, and Wei Sun - all of them academic researchers who were working on particle physics projects at CERN. "Our goal is to create and make widely accessible online products serve users instead of exploiting them," said Yen. The company has managed to garner 20 million users since their launch in 2014. Given that is comes at a time when 'trust' in big tech is at an all time low, ProtonMail has something going got itself. And any company that would be interested in encrypted emails will also be interested in other encrypted products like calendars, docs and cloud storage. While ProtonCalendar is on offer to the paid users on ProtonMail for now, and they do not have a full-fledged enterprise product yet, the company offers a professional subscription tier that has features and functionality that are business intensive. ProtonMail says that it encrypts event title, location, participants and description and no third party nor ProtonMail can peruse the content of the calendar entries. What differentiates ProtonCalendar from Google Calendar is the focus on privacy. It is also tied to your ProtonMail account. Much like the Google Calendar, the ProtonCalendar has a clean interface with month and day views and colour-coded event options. Having said thus, ProtonMail is not reinventing the calendar in its entirety.
