Impermium is a cyber security
startup based company in Redwood City, California, which provides anti-spam and
account protection services for internet web sites. Mark Risher, Vishwanath
Ramarao, and Naveen Jamal, who met while managing the Anti-spam systems for
Yahoo Mail, founded the company in 2010. The startup is a security firm that
builds products for websites that deals with cyber security.
Impermium had earlier received $9
Million in funding from a host of venture firms including Accel partners, AOL ventures,
Charles River Ventures, and Highland Capital Partners. The company says it has
300,000 clients, including CNN, Tumblr, Pinterest, ESPN, Typepad, and
Washington Post. This is Google third acquisition at the start of the year with
previous deals including smart thermostat maker, Nest and developer of Timely
Alarm Clock, Bitspin.
Google was last seen purchasing
smart phone startup Nest for $3.2 Billion, the amount which Google had paying
completely in cash. The company is best known for its products like Nest Learning
Thermostat and Protect Smoke detector. Facebook had recently purchased its very
first Indian Startup, Little Eye Labs. The company officially announced it had
been taken over earlier this month. Little Eye Labs essentially creates tools
to help mobile app developers to optimize their products performance. Whether
for the technology or the talent the interest of big Internet giants in Indian
startups is great news for the local startup community.
