History
Gazaro was founded in 2007 by Sam Zaid and Paul Lem.[4] Gazaro.com was launched in the United States in alpha at TechCrunch50 on September 8, 2008, and opened to the public on March 2, 2009, at DEMO 2009.[5] The Canadian version of Gazaro, Gazaro.ca, was launched on December 3, 2009. Expanding into the mobile space, the company launched its first iPhone app, Gazaro Deals, in December 2009.[6] In 2010, Gazaro launched PriceIQ Price Intelligence, a service offering aimed at retailers and providing real-time price analysis.
Gazaro was named a 2010 Startup to Watch by the Ottawa Business Journal,[7] a 2011 Top25 ICT Up and Comer by Branham Group,[8] and was named a finalist for the 2011 TIE50 awards.[9]
In July 2012, the company formally known as Gazaro, rebranded itself to be known as 360pi. The purpose for this rebranding was due to the company's new focus on the B2B market, and vision to become the trusted price intelligence provider for the world's largest retailers.
