Company history
The company was formerly known as 3am Labs, Inc., before March 2006.
The company's CEO Michael Simon and CTO Márton Anka collaborated at Uproar, an Internet game site eventually bought by Vivendi Universal at the height of the dot-com bubble. Anka's work for Uproar allegedly laid the foundation for his RemotelyAnywhere application, which later evolved into LogMeIn after 3am Labs incorporated.
3am Labs acquired the Hamachi VPN product.
LogMeIn, Inc., changed its name from 3am Labs in 2006.
