Meebo is a consumer internet company that organizes the web around people and reaches nearly half of the U.S. internet population. Using Meebo’s web check-in product, users can check in to share interesting stuff they find around the web like cool pictures, videos, sites, and articles. In one single click, they can share across their preferred social networks like Twitter and Facebook, and back at Meebo they can see how many people have clicked on their shared links to watch their influence grow.
Meebo also provides publishers and advertisers a surprisingly simple way to leverage this massive audience, by organically weaving content engagement and brand experiences on the web through the Meebo Bar. The Meebo Bar is currently integrated into hundreds of premium websites and hosts rich, engaging advertising from many of the top Fortune 500 brands.
Meebo was founded in September 2005 by Sandy Jen, Seth Sternberg, and Elaine Wherry and started as a web messenger aggregator. The company is headquartered in Mountain View, California, and currently employees over 200 people across six offices including San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Chicago, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Meebo is backed by True Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Jafco Ventures, and Khosla Ventures.
