History

vFlyer was begun as a project in 2004 by Application Park co-founder Aaron Sperling and Epicentric co-founder Oliver Muoto to allow online sellers to syndicate listings to online classified ad sites. The company launched on October 2, 2006, and was featured in a New York Times article.[2]

The company has been self-funded by its two founders and has made significant inroads in the real estate community. The company was named the Most Innovative Web Service by Inman News in 2007.[3]
