About us
We were founded by a group of Stanford alumni as an experiment in connecting the online and in-person worlds of business through mobile. After learning and iterating on our offering, while working closely with partners, we opened Bloodhound's platform to the public in September, 2011. Meanwhile, we continue to grow our team with the best engineering, business, and creative talent in the Bay Area.
Bloodhound is a free mobile application for events such as trade shows and conferences that begins “where a directory leaves off”. We get the right people to the right places faster, helping them decide who to meet, what to do, and where to go.
Bloodhound is headquartered in the SoMa district of San Francisco, CA.
