Bluepulse is a privately held mobile social media company based in San Mateo, California that is busy building one of the world’s largest communities on mobile. The company was founded in 2002 by mobile phone technologist and enthusiast Ben Keighran in hopes of developing a standard platform for publishing and consuming content on mobile. Ben, a native of Sydney, Australia, launched his idea at the mere age of 19 and quickly realized the company’s potential in the emerging mobile industry. He recently launched the company in the United States – located in YouTube’s old space in San Mateo. Bluepulse has users in 160 countries and is one of the fastest growing mobile communities in the world. Bluepulse has an advertising-based revenue model.
