YouSendIt - Bigger than Many Think

Liz Gannes over at GigaOM was on the phone with Ivan Koon, our CEO to review recent funding, the size of our user base and our projected revenue and came to the conclusion: "Bigger than we thought". Mike Arrington of TechCrunch recently named YouSendIt "King of the Space"  and we work hard to get bigger by the day and earn the title. Check Liz's story on GigaOM.

Let the Experts Move Your Big Files

Techcrunch mentioned YouSendIt recently as the king of file transfer. We couldn't agree more that building the infrastructure to move lots and lots of big files requires the full time attention of a team of file transfer experts that are dedicated to make moving big files as easy and fast for users as posssible. That's what we've done at YouSendIt. Our over 2 million registered users and many more guest users use the YouSendIt service to move over 400,000 million files over the past two years.

Businesses and professionals use YouSendIt everyday to move audio, video, graphics and other large files.

YouSendIt a Hit at Start-up Camp Last Week

YouSendIt scored great at Start-up Camp last week at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. Brian McQueen led a session titled "Developer Communities" that was well attended. YouSendIt also came away with 5th place in the Start-up contest, a fun SpeedGeeking event (think Speeddating for geeks looking at code rather than potential SOs) or grueling 3 hour marathon - depending how you perceive it - where companies give their honed pitch to a table of listeners that move on to a new table and new company pitch every 5 minutes.
