The research arm of CCA disappeared in 1988, at the same time that Symbolics (and other Lisp machine companies) was failing. So I, along with a few Symbolics people, were looking for the next thing to do, as OO databases were becoming a thing. We were brought together by an entrepreneur and formed Object Design, one of the batch of OO database companies of the late 80s/early 90s. Those Symbolics guys were absolutely brilliant.

I remember ObjectStore. Tried to use it, but it didn't work that well for our use case; we were better off doing serialization. Very interesting design, though.
