Media in the cloud
We built ZumoDrive to give users access to all their media files - music, photos, videos - stored in the cloud, as if they're on their local machines. Our product syncs and streams files across devices, making media available anywhere without worrying about local storage limits.
We live and work in Burlingame, CA, and would continue to be based here after YC.
We are already based in Burlingame, close to a lot of potential users and partners in the Bay Area, which also makes recruiting easier. Staying here keeps us connected to the tech ecosystem where we want to grow.
