+---
+
+# Acknowledgements
+
+Turborepo was originally created by [Jared Palmer](https://twitter.com/jaredpalmer) as a closed-source enterprise software offering. In late 2021, [Vercel acquired Turborepo](https://vercel.com/blog/vercel-acquires-turborepo) and open sourced the codebase.
+
+Today, Turbrepo has dedicated full-time team working on it as well as a growing list of [open source contributors](https://github.com/vercel/turborepo/graphs/contributors).
+
+## Inspiration / Prior Art
