DAD is the cure to digital disorganisation and provides a means for 100% private & secure sharing of data. A desktop application that indexes all your digital data, providing quick access to rich metadata, and allowing you to manage on your PC, your family and extended family and friends network your photos, music, videos, contacts and other data easily, automatically and privately. Your data is set free to use and reuse, link, associate and share without walls.
DAD uses a patented indexing system, with unique User to User (U2U) networking technology and an automated rules engine to provide a single, discretely shareable index of your data to allow you to manage multiple devices and your sharing with family and friends. A full open API allows 3rd party developers to benefit from the DAD features and provide further value to users.

Founded in January 2009 by successful entrepreneur Julian Ranger and a skilled management team, DAD was launched in September 2010 and is now building an initial user base and early revenues.

Julian Ranger, a Chartered Engineer (CEng), has been an angel investor since 2007 and an entrepreneur since he formed his first business, STASYS, in 1986. Julian grew STASYS to a £17m+ business with 230 staff with subsidiaries in the US, Australia and Germany before selling it to Lockheed Martin in 2005.
Julian has invested in a number of diverse technical and software businesses (see www.jranger.com). He also continues his entrepreneurial activities with his new business DAD (www.dadapp.com) and also at his innovation hub, iBundle (www.ibundle.co.uk), where he invites start-up entrepreneurs who are looking for backing and advice to contact him.
