October 13, 2006; 02:57 AM
Retrevo (http://www.retrevo.com), the first dedicated search engine for consumer electronics research, purchases and support announced that it has forged a partnership with Plug and Play Real Estate. Retrevo will operate from Plug and Play’s Sunnyvale facility, utilizing the integrated data center and other back office services.

"Building a successful startup is about time-to-market. Every minute counts. We could have rented a cheap office and had the team set up the various pieces required to run an Internet business. Instead we chose Plug and Play, where the infrastructure was already in place and the staff knew how to get us up and running quickly." said Vipin Jain, CEO of Retrevo. “We were productive on the first day.”

“Having worked with companies like Google and Paypal in their very early stages, we not only know what startups require to be successful, we know how to spot successful companies” said Saeed Amidi, CEO of Amidzad, owners of Plug and Play. “Retrevo is one of the hottest companies in the valley and we’re proud to be a host now and in the future as Retrevo goes through its rapid expansion.”

“Saeed’s track record in providing real estate and support to successful early stage startups is unparalleled,” remarked Jain. “As we continue our rapid growth, Plug and Play is supporting us every step of the way. Additionally, the community Plug and Play has created among its promising early-stage tenants has been useful- we have convenient access to complimentary companies and services as well as some of the best minds in the Silicon Valley.”
