WeFi software makes it easy for you to find and connect to WiFi networks. With WeFi, each user contributes to the rest of the community by using the client and discovering more networks around. All this is reported to a centralized server and shared seamlessly among all users, resulting in easy connection. With the software you can also map your favorite hotspots, find your friends, share your WiFi with other WeFi members and do many other cool things.
The new software application, WeFi, makes your life easier because it?s smart. It talks to a centralized server and uses the power of the collective for the benefit of the individual. My co-founder, Shimon likes to say that he came upon the idea watching the Borg on Star Trek. You do remember the cube that floated in space terrorizing entire planets. Why was the Borg so strong? Because they utilized the power of the collective. We do the same by combining every single Wi-Fi sighting and experience, thereby creating a virtual network out of individual users and managed access points.
But there?s more. WeFi allows you to see where other users are located. Is your friend 2 miles away? Has he visited this hotspot in the past? Is there someone else cool nearby? You?ll know all that with WeFi. We have also added a Flickr mash-up, so you can see and upload geo-tagged photos related to a spot. Obviously we will rely on everyone?s feedback to decide what else to add and mash-up: restaurant reviews, twitter or anything else.
WeFi is based in Mountain View, California with an R&D Center Tel Aviv, Israel. The founders of the company are Arnon Kohavi (CEO), Shimon Scherzer (CTO), Tamir Scherzer (VP R&D), and Yossi Vardi. WeFi is funded by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Pitango Venture Capital and Gemini Israel Funds.
