I love having the opportunity to chat with companies that are experiencing success. Today’s chat with Mobivox marketing director Darren Yaphe was an opportunity to do just that.
Since taking on $11M in funding last fall, Mobivox has been on a tear adding services quickly, and access nodes globally. Darren himself joined in December after leaving Bell Mobility.
Darren gave us some background on Mobivox, and then answered a huge variety of questions, ranging from market targets to pricing, future plans, privacy implications, and more. We even got the inevitable comparison with Wildfire out of the way.
Enjoy the call, and have a great weekend!

A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
