About Pulse Entertainment

Pulse Entertainment, operating as pulse3d.com, was established in late 1994 by co-founders Bill Woodward and Young Harvill. Initially focusing on animation tools and technology development, the company has undergone several strategic transformations throughout its history. A significant milestone occurred in May 1995 with the merger of Drew Pictures, which led to the completion of the video game "Bad Mojo". This was followed by another merger with 7th Level in November 1997, after which the company shifted away from game development to providing custom technology solutions and services.

By early 1998, Pulse had developed its core technology for web creation tools and browser players, positioning itself to "bring life to the Internet." The leadership team was solidified with Fred Angelopoulos as CEO and Mark Yahiro as President, while Woodward served as Chairman of the Board and Harvill as CTO. A pivotal development in the company's trajectory was the January 2009 merger with Meez, a 3D avatar community site, making Pulse Entertainment a subsidiary of Meez.

The company's primary offering is the Veepers Media System (VMS), a patented platform enabling the creation of animated messages, 3-D personalized wallpaper, and other rich media applications. This technology serves major wireless carriers, web-based greeting card providers, and consumer brands. The business model centers on providing engaging and easily deployable web and mobile video services for other companies. Key clients have included prominent names such as AT&T, Verizon Wireless, American Greetings, and KDDI.
