Plaxo is a privately held company funded by leading investment and technology firms as well as strong individual investors: Sequoia Capital, Cisco Systems, Globespan Capital Partners, Harbinger Venture Management, Ram Shriram and Tim Koogle.

Our group is intelligent, creative, motivated and excited about what we’re working on and the future of our company. Not only do we have stellar investors, but we have a dynamic culture, morale, workplace, and mojo (once you see it and meet the people, you’ll understand).
