Congrats guys. Any of the founder have any affiliation with Malaysia or Indonesia? The company name sound like a portmanteau of 2 Malay words ('terus' and 'sama').

When I was like, 7 or 8, my copy of Pokémon Crystal somehow got corrupted. I ended up with some random item named, 'Teru-sama' in my inventory, that messed up my game. Just a word that has stuck in my memory ever since.

And like, https://terusama.com was available.

That was my immediate thought upon seeing the name. "Wait, is this a GSC reference?"

You've obliterated Bulbagarden's ranking for the term
