Mobile media company SendMe has signed an agreement with Universal Music Group

What Company Is Offering:
SendMe is all about fun for your phone! As a leading provider of direct to consumer mobile entertainment, SendMe offers the broadest selection of mobile subscription services currently available online in the US. Whether it's interactive mobile trivia, the latest ringtones and wallpaper, mobile sweepstakes or one of the many other services we provide, SendMe is focused on delivering the best wireless content and experiences straight to your pocket.

How It Works:

Almost anyone can use SendMe Mobile. You do have to be located in the United States. And you do need to have a mobile phone. OK, so that isn't "almost anyone" in the global sense but we're still a small company that has yet to achieve world domination. Not to worry though, we're working on it.

All you have to do is visit the SendMe Mobile website. When you find something you'd like to order, just click the "SendMe" button and enter your phone number. We'll send a confirmation message with a password to your phone to make sure we've got the right number. Just enter the password you receive on the website or reply to that message with a "Y" or "YES" (without the quotation marks). Either way, we'll send you what you ordered automatically after that. It's that simple.

Who Is Backing Them:
Russell Klein, Co-Founder and CEO
Russell has spent the last 16 years in the digital media industry. Prior to co-founding SendMe, Russell was SVP, Corporate Development and Strategy, for HandsOn Mobile (f/k/a Mforma), where he spearheaded the company's M&A efforts and grew the company from 70 to 800 employees by acquiring mobile media companies in Europe, Asia, and North America; he also helped fund the company during his tenure as an EIR at General Catalyst Partners. Prior to General Catalyst Partners, Russell was Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at CNET Networks, and a board member of several other companies in the media and online marketing spaces. Russell is an avid consumer of all things mobile and never starts his day without reviewing his SendMe Horoscope. Russell is a Libra.

Markus has been a mobile fanatic ever since getting one of the first Palm Pilots back when he was a wee lad, and is really excited now to have an excuse to buy all the latest phones (for testing, of course).
