Corporate Profile – Vivox

Company: Vivox

Location: Framingham, Massachusetts

Launch Date: August, 2005

In the company’s own words, what is it? Vivox makes online communication natural. Communication is the essence of community, yet today’s online communities lack the richness of human interaction that we experience in the physical world.

Vivox managed services generate natural and engaging online interactions that reflect the intelligence, power and nuance of the physical world. A Pulver.com company that launched in August 2005, Vivox has served behind-the-scenes as the industrial strength platform for Free World Dial-Up, also a Pulver company, which provides VoIP services to global subscribers. Vivox is chaired by Jeff Pulver, an acknowledged pioneer in the Internet telephony/VoIP industry.

Outside quote about company: Joel Dreyfuss, Editor-in-Chief of Red Herring said, “With venture capital flowing again, we’re seeing a lot of innovative new companies taking on the established players with disruptive technologies and innovative business plans. The Red Herring 100 North America companies, among them Vivox, are pushing and breaking the boundaries of the technology business and we are excited to report on their success stories.” Business Wire, May 2006
