Build smarter

About Us

The roots of CandorLight LLC trace back to Idea Software, founded in Izmir, Turkey, in 1999. After several years of serving as a development powerhouse, the founders of Idea immigrated to Canada and the United States but maintained their partnership through joint projects and ongoing collaboration. In 2023, their individual companies united to form CandorLight LLC.

As of 2026, CandorLight LLC employs dozens of developers across five locations worldwide.
