Founded in May 2010 by Basil Enan, an insurance leadgen veteran, CoverHound helps online shoppers find the best car insurance policy for them at the best price possible.
CoverHound works by taking the time to understand where shoppers are, who shoppers are, and what shoppers are looking for before matching them with car insurance providers who are good fits. CoverHound then makes it fast and easy to connect with those providers - over the phone or online - to get actionable comparison quotes.
Because of CoverHound's focus on providing a superior shopper experience, car insurance carriers and local agents find a tremendous amount of value in making their offers available to CoverHound shoppers.

UberMedia was founded in early 2010 as TweetUp (later PostUp) by Internet entrepreneur, Bill Gross, in an effort to provide Twitter users with a way to find the world’s best Tweeters on topics of particular interest and at the same time enable Tweeters to increase their following among people keen to hear what they have to say.
Later that year, the company began to bring together under one roof many of the leading Twitter clients or apps in order to provide a platform for innovation in user experiences across the many platforms through which Twitter users send and read Tweets. UberMedia applications now include UberSocial, Echofon and Twidroyd, leading Twitter apps on the BlackBerry, iPhone and Android platforms, respectively.
