## Summary

Josh James is publicly documented as co-founder of Omniture (1996, Orem UT) and founder/CEO of Domo (2010, American Fork UT). The Domo official website, the Deseret News coverage of the Adobe acquisition, and the SEC filings cited in the Omniture work page establish the key facts: Omniture founded 1996 with John Pestana, NASDAQ IPO 2006 (OMTR), Adobe acquisition ~$1.8B in 2009, Domo founded 2010, NASDAQ IPO 2018 (DOMO).

## Useful Claims

- Josh James co-founded Omniture in 1996 in Orem, Utah with John Pestana.
- Omniture went public on NASDAQ in 2006 (ticker OMTR).
- Adobe acquired Omniture in 2009 for approximately $1.8 billion in cash ($21.50/share).
- James founded Domo in 2010 in American Fork, Utah.
- Domo went public on NASDAQ in 2018 (ticker DOMO).
- James is cited as a key figure in the Silicon Slopes tech ecosystem, having trained a generation of Utah SaaS operators through the Omniture exit.

## Reliability Notes

Domo's own website is useful for current company description but not fully objective on performance claims. The Deseret News and SEC sources cited by the Omniture work page are stronger for the 2009 acquisition facts. James's role at Domo is confirmed by NASDAQ public filings. Biographical details (born in Utah, specific education) would require a primary biographical source to confirm.
