Shortwave is a technology company that enhances email communication by integrating advanced artificial intelligence features and facilitating real-time team collaboration.
Founded by a team of former Google employees, Shortwave aims to transform traditional email into a more organized, efficient, and intelligent platform.
The company was formed in 2020; CEO Andrew Lee, the co-founder of Firebase, also co-founded Shortwave. The expertise gained from developing Firebase, particularly in real-time data synchronization and cloud infrastructure, has influenced Shortwave’s architecture. This design enables efficient AI-powered email management and seamless team collaboration.
Shortwave started off on the right foot: After securing a Series A funding led by Union Square Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Afore Capital, the company acquired the matching .com domain name Shortwave.com.
The deal closed on Sedo.com, where the domain was listed for sale at the time.WHOIS records show that the deal closed on or around August 27, 2020, mere months after the company’s formation and funding.
Registered in 1999, Shortwave.com was referencing shortwave, a form of long-distance radio transmission that uses frequencies between 1.6 MHz and 30 MHz, allowing signals to bounce off the ionosphere and reach far beyond the horizon.
In the world of brand and corporate name creation, it’s increasingly popular to see a term being used for a function different than its de facto meaning.
