Memeo® Expands Partnership with Buffalo Technology; Reports Growth in All Key Areas

Major distribution deal, significant revenue growth and new hires add to impressive 2008 results

Aliso Viejo, CA - August 25, 2008

Memeo Inc., a leader in digital media management services for the home and business, today announced it has experienced significant growth to-date in 2008, including a new distribution deal with Buffalo Technology, the appointment of Dan Nadir as VP of product management as well as a 500% increase in revenues compared with the same time period last year. 

The company aims to simplify the digital life by providing sharing, backup and sync software for consumers and businesses. Memeo today expands its current relationship with Buffalo in Europe and Asia Pacific with an agreement to bundle Memeo AutoSync software, which synchronizes documents between multiple computers, USB keychain drives and portable hard disks, on Buffalo hard drives sold in these areas. Memeo also entered the Japanese market earlier this year through a partnership with Buffalo Inc, Japan.

In addition, Dan Nadir has joined the company as VP of product management. In this role, Nadir will be responsible for defining Memeo’s product roadmap. Prior to Memeo, Nadir served as the VP of product strategy for ScanSafe. While there, he opened the US office and helped build the SaaS (software as a service) Web security vendor into a global leader. Nadir also served as VP of product management for SaaS email security vendor FrontBridge Technologies, acquired by Microsoft in 2005.

Memeo has also more than quadrupled its number of employees in 2008. Earlier this year, the company received a Series B round of funding led by the Foundry Group. In combination with investments from G-51 Capital, Memeo has received more than $9 million in equity funding to-date.

I’m looking forward to helping consumers and businesses share, protect and manage their digital media by working with Memeo to deliver first-class products that meet this need.”
