Who's behind the Zen browser?

Looking at GitHub it seems that u/maubg has done most of the work. I don't know anything about Mauro except that. Where is he coming from? There is no mentioning of a country anywhere on the about page. Also how is the Zen browser funded? Would be great to get more insight on the foundation of this project. I think having clues about the motivation, funding and legal jurisdiction behind the project helps to build trust and sympathy for the project.
