This allows participants to obtain optimum pricing when disposing of and purchasing excess inventory.

Kalepa Networks

Seed Round in 2000
Starting as just a bunch of friends getting together on a regular basis, for more than four years the founders of Kalepa have been forming the idea behind the company. As the years passed, technology evolved and so did their concept. In early Y2K, they felt technology and the Internet had finally progressed to implement their vision, and thus they formed their company called "Kalepa." The founders, having worked together extensively in the past, form an amazing and well-oiled team. Each knows the others strengths and weaknesses, and each have the ability and the experience to augment and complement each other's skills. That is why at Kalepa, ideas become reality. Kalepa is still a small company, and thus they are able to occupy a cozy office inside the historic landmark of the Peninsula Creamery Dairy Store in downtown Palo Alto-which is a real treat, since, as they all know, ice cream (especially good ice cream) improves the mental processes (brain freeze)! It is from their origins that the Kalepa corporate culture of personal excellence, exceptional teamwork, and just pure fun was born.
