I founded Teleku (
http://teleku.com) on January 1, 2010 and wrote the technology myself using Ruby on Rails. Launched the service as a private beta in February and then later opened it to the public in March. We were TechCrunch'ed in April and my company was acquired today by Voxeo (
http://voxeo.com) actually by my competitor Tropo (
http://tropo.com).
It goes to show what a single man working in the garage without funding can do in a trillion dollar telecom industry. Actually this was my second telecom acquisition...
More exciting news to come!
