Founders
Before creating INPHONEX our founders, Bill Nesbitt and Kooi Lim, built highly-successful start-ups.
- Hiway Technologies, founded by Bill Nesbitt, was acquired by Verio in 1998 for $400 million.
- Superclone, founded by Kooi Lim, sold more than $150 million in computers and computer components from 1988 to 2004.
- KCL.net, founded by Kooi Lim in 1996, is an ISP that provides hosting, collocation, and broadband services to businesses and consumers.
INPHONEX brings these two entrepreneurs together to capitalize on the opportunity to spread the revolution of VoIP communications technology.
