Stamps.com
E-Stamp was started by entrepreneur Salim Kara. His secretary was in a car accident on the way to the post office to refill postage and sued him for damages. The story goes that Kara felt there must be a better way to purchase and use postage, and so he developed the digital postage concept.
With over 300,000 monthly subscribers, Stamps.com® is the leading provider of Internet-based postage solutions. Stamps.com was the first company to be approved by the U.S. Postal Service® to offer a software-only postage service that lets customers buy and print postage online. The company targets small businesses, small and home offices and individuals through partnerships with companies including Office Depot, Microsoft, NCR, CompUSA, Earthlink, HP, Dymo, Vendio and the U.S. Postal Service. Stamps.com is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ under the symbol STMP.
