Dimdim’s founders realized that their frustrations with other web meeting software presented them with a compelling market opportunity. Here was a chance to make the world a smaller place - by creating a simple, free service that lets everyone everywhere to communicate using rich media in real time. And not only would Dimdim be easy to use, it would also be free so web meetings could be democratized and made available to everyone. Dimdim started in Feb 2006, and is backed by Nexus India Capital, Index Ventures and Draper Richards.

Hard work to “Just works.” Enabling people around the world to show pictures, PPTs, PDFs, screens, even video as part of their conversations with no desktop client (like Skype or Outlook) is technically very complicated and often at the mercy of the internet connection speed or the power of the CPU. Undaunted, Dimdim invested more than 15 man-years of engineering development into making complex web meetings simply work. We think you’ll enjoy the fruits of their labors and would love to learn from you how we can improve further.
