Notifo was conceived, developed, and launched during the Winter 2010 funding cycle of Y Combinator. It was born out of a desire to see the real-time, event-based web spring to life. With the emergence of several new smart-phone platforms embracing the notion of real-time data delivery, we believe the time is right to create a more real-time network of information to spread among users everywhere. Notifo is based in both Menlo Park and San Francisco.
