MightyText builds Android applications and a cloud service that let users send SMS from their computer and keep messages synced between an Android phone and a computer. Its core product mirrors and transmits SMS across devices. In August 2012 Qualcomm awarded MightyText $100,000 as the top prize in the North American regional semi-finals of its 2012 QPrize venture investment competition. The $100,000 was provided as venture financing by Qualcomm. MightyText will go on to compete with Qualcomm's other regional winners for a $1M final QPrize award. The article does not disclose operating metrics or additional financing beyond the Qualcomm prize. MightyText provides a cloud‑based service and browser extension that lets Android users send SMS from computers and tablets while keeping messages synced and stored. Users install an app on their phone and an extension in their browser so texts come from their mobile number and remain available across devices. After a Chrome‑extension prototype and months of private beta, the product launched to the public with 250,000 users sending almost 80 million texts per month. The company has three employees in a Mountain View, Calif. office and uses outsourced resources in India. MightyText currently has no immediate monetization plans but is considering targeted advertising, a premium small‑business offering, or carrier partnerships in the future.
