SMS.ac - Mike Pousti

One of the most innovative technology companies today is SMS.ac, founded by Mike Pousti in October, 2001. There are many things that make SMS.ac so unique, starting with the structure of the company. SMS.ac is employee-owned, and the company culture promotes input from staff members. This allows the company to be competitive and innovative, which is imperative for any Internet-related business.

The growth that SMS.ac saw in its first year under the direction of Mike Pousti is also unprecedented. In their first year, SMS.ac saw the fastest product launch in history, with 6 million users registering in their first six months as a company. There are now 50 million registered users in the SMS.ac community worldwide.

The product that SMS.ac offers is also unique, although it started out simply enough as a Web portal for sending text messages. SMS.ac is currently the only social networking community that allows content providers as well as registered users to earn profit through their connections. SMS.ac uniquely combines a social community with earning potential, allowing people to buy, sell and promote digital content through its proprietary Web and mobile technologies.

Under the experienced eye of Mike Pousti, the company holds solid billing relationships with hundreds of mobile operators in more than 100 countries. This allows SMS.ac to sustain a unique position as the only global mobile community of its kind in the world. SMS.ac has an open platform for tens of thousands of content providers to share revenue and benefit from their cutting edge technology. This has allowed them to keep their main source of income as user-generated content, rather than relying on advertisements like other social networking sites.
