Business Description:Dimdim's founders realized that their frustrations with other web meeting software presented them with a compelling market opportunity. Here was a chance to make the world a smaller place - by creating a simple, free service that lets everyone everywhere to communicate using rich media in real time.
And not only would Dimdim be easy to use, it would also be free so web meetings could be democratized and made available to everyone. Dimdim started in Feb 2006, and is backed by Nexus India Capital, Index Ventures and Draper Richards. And after three rounds of private beta testing, we're now open for business.
Today anyone can signup and hold their own web meetings using Dimdim Free. Customers who want to customize or brand their own web meetings can purchase Dimdim Pro for only $99 per year.
And institutions who need much larger meetings can purchase Dimdim Enterprise (available in both hosted and onsite versions) for less than 1/2 the cost of existing solutions.
