I’m very excited to announce that Increo has been acquired by Box.net!

In talking with the Box.net team, we realized that they shared our vision for the future of documents on the Internet and, with their solid product offerings and rapidly growing userbase, were well-primed to take a leadership role in the online collaboration space.

We could not be happier to bring our technology to Box.net and can not wait to deliver easy document previewing, annotation, and embedding to Box’s customers.

“I spoke to Box.net CEO Aaron Levie briefly about the acquisition. He says the key reason they acquired Increo is to integrate the collaboration and annotation functionality from Backboard. Increo’s underlying technology for displaying documents on websites is also attractive to Box.net.”
