Description:

Who are we?

Viximo is the mullet of startups: 15 engineers working hard in the front and a 5 person art party in the back. We love Ruby and/on Rails. We make jokes about object-oriented girlfriends and grill out occasionally. We use OS X, XP and Ubuntu. We salsa dance, play fantasy football , organize croquet societies, race cars across frozen ponds and wear ponchos…all while Twittering. Our conference rooms are named after Lost hatches and our fridge is stocked with Snapple and PBR.

We started humbly as a few guys in Cambridge’s tech co-working space, Betahouse. One day we had a naming party (we almost ended up named after a bacteria), hired 20 more folks and moved into an old recording studio in Davis Square. We’re funded by Sigma Partners and North Bridge Venture Partners.
