Main Company Info Page - Overview and History

Splashtop Inc. is a privately held software company based in San Jose, CA offering a family of Splashtop products that improve the computing experience across a range of devices for people around the world.

The Beginning of a Mission:

Friends since their college days at MIT, the four founders of Splashtop looked at an industry stuck in the desktop paradigm before the explosion of the web and proliferation of device types. After successfully building and selling one company (OSA Technologies), Splashtop CEO, Mark Lee, and his former classmates set out to change the world of consumer and business computing with a simple idea centered around fast access to the things users want and need every day. While the Internet has radically transformed how people use their computers, the industry had yet to catch up. Most PCs were designed to enable spreadsheets and word processing, but today people care more about email, instant messaging, search and shopping, sharing videos and checking in on Facebook.

Mark and team created the Splashtop family of products designed to meet the changing needs of users everywhere – to get people online quickly from any number of different devices. From the flagship Splashtop OS instant-on platform, to the new Splashtop Remote product delivering access to your complete Windows desktop from an alternative device, such as an iPad or iPhone, and Splashtop Connect, a smart start page that makes your browser better made through Facebook integration, the team is squarely focused on delivering compelling computing experiences – faster, simpler, and more universal than ever before.
