LeMeur moved from Paris to San Francisco to launch Seesmic due to the perception that it would stand a better chance of success there. It is backed by a number of investors, the primary one being Atomico, a venture group that includes Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, who sold Skype to eBay in 2005 for $2.6 billion.Cite web|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/jan/29/loiclemeur|title=Silicon Valley 'Refuses to Take Europe Seriously'|accessdate=2008-02-22|year=2008-01-29|author=Bobbie Johnson|work=The Guardian]
