round of funding from the Pasadena Angels and Frontera Capital for a voice-over-IP service, and we thought we'd talk with Cliff Rees, the firm's CEO, to understand how the firm is different from those many providers.

As you know, we started in Europe, and re-based it here in Pasadena about two and a half years ago. Tim Cadogan: It's been a hell of a couple of years.

That's the story at Altadena-based Unified Dispatch , which was recently sold to the On-Demand Division of Veolia. The idea was they were going to create their own interactive voice response (IVR) technology, which we would keep in house and allow us to open up a nationwide call center to handle taxi calls.

I thing I’ve learned over the years is that technology purists hate advertising even when it is that revenue stream that truthfully drives much of our industry. They would launch quickly and test whether or not there is any demand. He invented the category of sponsored search. They are very hands on. We talked about patents.
