Overview
BBA Inc operated commercially as Meldium, a San Francisco startup providing single-sign-on, password management, and identity access management for teams using cloud SaaS apps. Founded in 2012 by Anton Vaynshtok, Bradley Buda, and Boris Jabes (Microsoft and Amazon alumni), Meldium graduated Y Combinator Winter 2013 and raised approximately $1M in seed funding from Founders Co-op, Draper Associates, and others. LogMeIn acquired BBA Inc on September 4, 2014 for approximately $15M in cash to expand its IT management portfolio with SSO capabilities. Andreessen Horowitz lists BBA as an Exit on its public portfolio.

Competitive landscape
Edge: Simple team SSO for cloud-native workplaces at a time when enterprise IAM was complex — attractive tuck-in for LogMeIn's remote-access and IT portfolio.
Meldium competed in the first wave of cloud-app SSO for teams too small for full Okta deployments. The LogMeIn acquisition validated product-market fit but at modest exit size (~$15M) versus later identity unicorns.
-
Okta incumbent
Enterprise identity leader — broader SSO and lifecycle management at higher price and implementation lift.
-
OneLogin direct
Mid-market cloud SSO competitor in the same 2013–2014 identity wave.
-
Dashlane (team) adjacent
Password manager with business tiers — less native app provisioning than Meldium's SSO focus.
Notable stories
- Meldium started in Seattle by Microsoft and Amazon alumni, moved to San Francisco for YC — Founders Co-op invested despite rarely backing SF teams because of the Seattle relationship (GeekWire, 2013).
- LogMeIn cited Meldium as a natural extension of identity and cloud app management for its IT products — one of the early tuck-in SSO acquisitions before identity became a standalone category (LogMeIn, Sep 2014).
