3LM

Based in Mountain View, California, 3LM develops enterprise security and mobile device management software specifically designed for the Android operating system. The company provides business-to-business technology that allows original equipment manufacturers to integrate advanced encryption, remote management, and application controls directly into smartphones. This infrastructure enables corporate IT administrators to securely manage mobile fleets and enforce data protection policies across distributed workforces. Prior to its corporate acquisition, the enterprise software developer raised $1.5 million in seed funding from lead investor Accel Partners and secured strategic integration partnerships with major hardware manufacturers including HTC and Samsung. In February 2011, the business was acquired by Motorola Mobility in a transaction reportedly valued at approximately $50 million to strengthen its enterprise smartphone capabilities. 3LM was founded in 2010 by former Google Android team members Tom Moss and Gaurav Jain.
