O que Bump faz

Bump was acquired by Google in 2013. The Bump and Flock apps were shut down, but our unreleased Photoroll app went on to become the basis for Google Photos, which we led from inception to more than 1B users. Bump let you exchange contact info and photos by bumping phones together. Bump was one of the all-time top mobile apps, amassing more than 150M installs by 2013. Flock was a semi-automated photo sharing app that figured out which photos you took with which friends and created private shared albums. Bump was co-founded in 2009 and received funding from Y Combinator, Sequoia, and Andreessen-Horowitz. We were based in Mountain View, CA.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Bump, a mobile app that lets people exchange contact info and photos by physically bumping their phones. We also developed Flock, an app that semi-automatically shares photos with the friends you took them with. Our unreleased app Photoroll organizes and shares photos and eventually evolved into Google Photos.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Mountain View, CA and plan to keep the company based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in Mountain View because it's close to where we all live and near the core mobile and tech community we rely on.
