Updater is a website that helps people who are moving organize and complete all of their moving-related tasks. In addition to helping their users file change of address forms with the post office for free, Updater streamlines the change of address process by notifying selected companies and individuals on behalf of their users. They also offer a service to prevent advertisers from sending unsolicited mail into their users' mailboxes. The Updater service has been noted by RealSimple, USA Today,〔 New York Times and others for its technology and ease of use. == History == Updater.com was founded by David Greenberg, formerly a lawyer at Cravath, Swaine & Moore. In 2010, in preparation for an upcoming move, he had searched for a website that could help manage all the tasks associated with his change of address such as forwarding his mail, updating his contacts and transferring his cable. Frustrated that no such comprehensive service existed and seeing the opportunity given that more than 38.5 million Americans relocated in 2010, he started his own company to address this problem. With $800,000 in seed funding from angel investors, the Updater website was launched in July 2011. As of November 2011, tens of thousands of new movers had visited the Updater site and thousands have used the service to file an official USPS Change of Address. The company projected $5.5 million in annual revenue for 2012. In March 2013, Updater was selected as one of six start-ups to join as charter members of NAR REach™, an accelerator program developed by Second Century Ventures (SCV), the strategic investment arm of the National Association of Realtors to introduce innovative technology companies to the real estate marketplace. In April 2014, Updater announced the completion of a Series A financing round totaling $8 million from SoftBank Capital, Second Century Ventures (the investment arm of the National Association of Realtors), IA Ventures, and Commerce Ventures. Updater also hired Ryan Hubbard, a tech innovator with over 15 years of industry experience, as Chief Technology Officer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Updater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
