Pinger is hiring!
From Elliot:
Right before graduation VoiceVault (now knows as "Pinger") closed a Series "A" round of funding with Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers.
Throughout the BCEMBA program I served as co founder of VoiceVault and dedicated my efforts to managing the initial technology development, fundraising process, structuring of the company, and other strategic aspects.
While I am not currently involved in the day to day operations of the company, I am a shareholder and a huge advocate of their work. This will be a very exciting company for anyone passionate about communications technology to be involved with. The management team is amazing.
VoiceVault was originally conceived of (and work shopped as a Strategy project in Tiffany's class) as a communications technology platform that helps solve the problems associated with disparate, unsorted, and unmanageable voicemail recordings. Now the company has picked up significant momentum and has expanded their vision and value proposition.
"Pinger is an early stage startup with a mission to help people communicate with their voice in new and remarkably convenient ways. The management team comes from successful consumer facing companies such as Virgin, Yahoo, Palm, Handspring, and Creative Labs. Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers exclusively funded the company.
Pinger is in pre launch mode and is hiring. For more information visit www.pinger.com
A big thanks to my group (Lali, Eli, Phil) as well as the numerous classmates I consulted for legal, strategic and psychological counseling as the deal was closing…… AND to Dallis for allowing me the space to make two significant investments in the same 18month period!
