At Celly, Greg Passmore and Darek Teller have been working on ways to enable these networks to form quickly and communicate privately. Celly's technology is being used by groups as diverse as teachers who need to communicate with students, the City of Portland, and the Occupy Movement as ways to share information quickly.

Celly recently secured $1.4 million in seed funding led by the Oregon Angel Fund to continue building their apps and services.
