Meebo is a web based platform that enables instant messaging from any computer. My guest today is Seth Sternberg, one of the three co-founders. Launched in 2005 with 10,000 users on day one, the company is off to an astonishing start. It’s popularity has surged in part because it is a convenient way to overcome the technical limitations on university and corporate networks that block downloading software typically required to IM. Funded by Sequoia Capital and Draper Fisher Jurvetson, the company has grown to support 90 million daily messages and 5.5 million monthly users. Earlier this month Business2.0 dubbed Meebo one of 25 startups to watch. Tune in to hear their story.
