About Loopt

Based in Mountain View, CA, Loopt, Inc. is a Sequoia Capital and NEA backed start-up that has built a revolutionary "social mapping" service that will change the way people use mobile phones to keep in touch with their friends (www.loopt.com). Loopt facilitates real-world interaction between friends and puts an end to frustrating missed connections. Loopt launched on the Sprint Nextel network at the end of July '07, as the first-ever social mapping service on a major U.S. wireless carrier.
