Re: [General] Which VOIP Services are known to have redundancy? said by Mango:Both Anveo and VoIP.ms are private companies so we don't know if they're profitable, but since they don't have the backing of big venture capitalists, I think it is highly likely that they are. How do you know they do not have the backing of venture capitalists?

I should have said something like "since the fees they charge are comparable to the rest of the industry, I think it is highly likely that they are [profitable]." |

As far as others being VC backed, I do not know. I have searched and could not find anything. Normally a VC firm will list their "portfolio" on their websites and I was not able to locate any VC firms listing them.

I doubt very much that there is any large-scale VC money for those providers or any others (except Ooma which was old news).
I think that the question was rhetorical.
-----------------------------
The people who put many millions into Ooma have not made any money on their investment, and in many cases lost money.
Among externally funded companies, we have had:
SunRocket: Tragedy
Jeff Pulver's TELLO: Comedy
VoiceStick (which ended life as GEOS): Comedy and Tragedy
-----------------------------
I would [run away hard] from any provider that was VC backed.
You want a company where people are using their OWN money, not someone else's.
Among companies where owners are active participants are FutureNine/CheapVoip, Voip.MS, CallCentric, Anveo, CallWithUs, FlowRoute, etc. |
