Company History
The company was co-founded in 2007 by Igor Faletski, John Boxall and Peter McLachlan. Igor Faletski met his future co-founder, John Boxall, while attending Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. After continuously missing their bus during their final year of school, the pair saw an opportunity to address this common problem using mobile devices. They developed a system to deliver bus schedules to their mobile devices through SMS text messaging. Local media buzz around the service motivated Igor and John to start their own company in Igor’s mother’s basement and license the system to TransLink.
Further business development efforts showed that the product wasn’t scalable, so they changed directions and started developing a new system to help enterprise websites build adaptive mobile websites. At this point, they moved their office to a one-bedroom apartment and were joined by their third co-founder, Peter McLachlan.
In 2013, Mobify had 90,000 users in more than 200 countries, including Starbucks, Bosch and Toyota. As of early 2015, Mobify has been experimenting with web-based push notifications for Android devices.
