A little more about us

Again today I had to fill in papers about the company (vision, mission, product and all that stuff to put in a business plan). I paste that here, just to share.


Company vision: Everyone own more and more data, personal and shared, spread in the Internet cloud, hosted by many web services or scattered accross many devices. Our product, Olipo, is a little software application, smoothly bundled and mobile, that grabs all your scattered data to you.

Mission: Olipo enables the convergence of the desktop world and the web world for users' data. With Olipo, users get the best of the two worlds. Files/folders manipulations are easy, convenient, painless, fast and well-known; Web Services are beautiful, innovative and rich-featured (sharing, commenting, publishing...). Olipo is the application in the middle: it simplifies and automatizes the upload/download process, it handles the mapping between files/folders and abstract web data.

Main Product, aka Olipo: Olipo is a little software application that holds all the synchronization complexity for you. You simply download and launch it and it jumps onto your USB drive, waiting for the "plugins" you choose on our plugin store. You may choose a Picasa plugin to automatically get and send your photos on Picasa, an RSS plugin to automatically update your USB drive with the newest mp3s from franceinter.com, or a box.net plugin to save your files on Box servers.

That's all folks today.
