Google Southeast Asia’s senior conversion specialist, Vinoaj Vijeyakummar, has left the search company to become the head of product development at Dropmyemail, a service owned by Singapore startup DropMySite, reported techcircle.
The company is started by ex-marketing professional John Fearon. Dropmyemail is a service that lets users back-up their emails on the cloud. It has amassed 500,000 users within two months of its launch, John claims.
The service works on a freemium model, offering 500MB of free storage while charging US$9.99 for 5 GB and US$19.99 for 10 GB of storage.
Vinoaj has been with Google for five years, but according to techcircle, he prefers building up new companies, having worked at two startups previously. Users can get an extra 256 MB of storage per referral sign-ups.
The startup has been funded by Singapore’s Crystal Horse Investments, but it is now seeking a Series A funding of US$10 million.
While DropMyEmail is targeted at mass market consumers, DropMySite aims for a niche group by offering the ability to backup entire websites over the cloud.
John also runs EatAds.com, an online platform to buy and sell offline ads space.
