Pushlife acquired by Google

Details are still emerging but it sounds like another Toronto company has been acquired by the GOOG. We’ve been hearing that the purchase price is close to $25MM, hopefully that’s Canadian Dollars this week and not US Dollars.

The Pushlife web is currently down. But you can see 10 employees listed on the Company Page on LinkedIn including CEO and Founder Ray Reddy. Ray (@raymondreddy) hasn’t updated his Twitter since December 2010.

This makes Pushlife the 3rd Toronto company acquired by Google (Bumptop and SocialDeck being the other two).

 

 

David Crow focused on product design, customer development and go-to-market implementation on $0. He is available as a consultant. He is a mentor at UW VeloCity, Jolt and FounderFuel. Follow him on Twitter @davidcrow or at DavidCrow.ca

  3. That was never really reported so our guess is it was more of a hire than an acquire.

  4. This is a great result for Raymond and the team at PushLife! Also great validation of the hands-on model followed by Robin & Duncan at Mantella Venture Partners. Congratulations guys on creating another Canadian start-up success story. Nice to see StartupNorth break the story also (and to get the hat tip from TechCrunch).

    […] 11 April, 2011 (07:11) | Songs and Music, Technology News | By: Technology Expert At the 2010 Google I/O conference, Google teased attendees with the idea of streaming music from the cloud. Since then, nothing has happened in terms of Google, but Amazon.com beat both Google and Apple with Cloud Player. It might have been that Google was having trouble getting the tech to work on its own, despite its smart engineers. The company has just acquired PushLife, a Canadian company that which enables users to sync the music collection stored on their computer with their mobile phones, including BlackBerry and Android devices.The key to the acquisition may be that PushLife works with iTunes and Windows Media player libraries. enabling them to sync to non-Apple phones. According to StartupNorth, the deal went down for $25 million.Coming up soon is Google I/O, and with Amazon's Cloud Player already out there, Google might very well be trying to accelerate its own development. Some of the delay, however, is believed to be licenses for music from the Big 4 music labels.Amazon.com decided to go live with Cloud Drive and Cloud Player without licenses, hoping to negotiate them later.
