Scayl Takes On Big Emails With P2P

Portland-based Scayl, a new startup focused on sending and sharing gigabyte-sized files across the Internet, is one of the firms debuting today at DEMO Fall 2010. Scayl--which is headed by Bill Kallman--said it is providing a free and easy way to send and share very large files, including video files. According to the firm, its software creates a self-organizing network which connects users to one another using a peer-to-peer network. Kallman was formerly a VC at Timberline Ventures. The firm's CTO is Don Hoffman, who according to his LinkedIn profile has served at Intel, P2P firm Gnuterra, and etrieve, among other firms.
