Lots and lots of cool Israeli startups. Part 2 -- Sequioa companies

Jajah. http://www.jajah.com/ …. Server-centered VoIP plus PSTN for consumers. You make a phone request from your PC or mobile phone, providing the two endpoint numbers.

Amobee http://www.amobee.com/main/hp.htm … Amobee is both a software company and a business development and sales service. They provide a  comprehensive set of offerings for mobile operators, application developers and agencies. For mobile operators, Amobee provides a telco-grade ad serving platform. For developers they provide an SDK which allows the application to be subsidized by contextual ads and access to agencies and advertisers who will place them.

Silent Communications. http://www.silentcom.com/ … Silent communications provides features likely to be attractive to carriers who want to increase call completion by providing   multiple ways to respond to unanswerable voice calls. For example, if you receive a call while in a meeting you can silently send a voice reply that suggests you begin a SMS session. You can also carry on a silent voice conversation using a set of predefined responses or statements.  The opportunities here are endless :-)

About Cliff Reeves

I was born in Sri Lanka (then it was called Ceylon) of British parents. I lived in Sri Lanka, England, and Malta before moving to the US in 1973. In the US I have lived in NC (Raleigh), TX (Dallas and Austin), MA (Boston), and WA (Kirkland). At present I roam between my family home in NC and my work home in WA I am married, with two daughters and one wife. I worked at: -- IBM -- Lotus (Lotus was IBM too … well, sort of). I am presently working in the Emerging Business Team at Microsoft. We work with start-up companies, and VCs to help them and our customers get the best out their relationship with Microsoft. I focus mostly on collaboration software, broadly defined. I plan to write -- mostly -- about software and the companies I really like. Like, that is, for any number of reasons. Maybe they do something really new, or really well, or maybe they signal a new trend. Or all of those things. I'm a Microsoft employee ... so expect both bias and insight in that respect. I worked at IBM and Lotus for a long time ... so same caveats apply.
