Overview

On January 5, 2017, Net2Phone, a subsidiary of IDT Corporation, acquired LiveNinja, a Miami-based messaging and live chat technology startup. Net2Phone, based in New Jersey, will be integrating LiveNinja’s messaging technology into its new product now in development, called PicuP, a self-service communications platform that gives small and medium-sized businesses tools to professionally answer, route and manage their inbound calls at an affordable price. LiveNinja, a team of 14, will stay in Wynwood, and will immediately add employees to enhance and support PicuP. The terms of the transaction weren’t disclosed.

For LiveNinja, the new owner brings resources it needed to market and scale its technology. LiveNinja Ceo Weinraub said he will be posting eight software engineer jobs right away, doubling the engineering team in Miami. PicuP will be launched shortly and LiveNinja will continue to offer its messaging platform as a standalone product until the full integration of the two companies’ services has been completed later this year.
