Michael Birch is the Co-founder of Bebo and Birthday Alarm. Birch was raised in North London, England, went to Imperial
College, London in Central London (where he met Xochi, his wife), then worked in West London. After finally deciding that
he had done London, Michael moved to San Francisco in 2002.
Michael and Xochi Birch sold Bebo to AOL in March 2008 for USD 850 million. Their combined 70% stake yielded a profit
of $595 million from the deal. In June 2008, Michael invested in, and joined the board of MyStore.com along with Julian
Lennon and Gordon Crawford. He is also an investor in Goodreads, a book oriented social network.
Having worked in a number of not-so-exciting computer related jobs, he relished the chance to set up an Internet based
family business with his wife, Xochi and brother, Paul. Remembering birthdays was never his strong point, much to his
embarrassment, so what could be better than something he could use himself. Michael was responsible for developing
the original Birthday Alarm website back in 2001, but is no longer involved in its development.
