History

[edit]

Redbooth was previously known as Teambox Technologies S.L., which was founded in 2008[3] and continued to serve commercial and free hosting for Teambox.[4] The company also offered installation and customization of the software.[2]

In February 2010, Teambox secured US$193,400 (€140,000)[4] and an additional US$250,000 as part of a seed funding round in November 2010.[5] In April 2010, Canadian internet company Talker announced that it had been acquired by Teambox.[6] In June 2013, Teambox partnered with Zoom Video Communications to provide HD videoconferencing to its users.[7]

On January 21, 2014, following the acquisition of 650,000 users, Teambox underwent a name change to Redbooth, Inc.[8] Later, on November 18, 2014, Redbooth disclosed an $11 million Series B funding round led by Altpoint Ventures and Avalon Ventures, bringing its total funding to $17.5 million.[9]

In August 2016, Redbooth released an exclusive app for Apple TV, available in the Apple TV App Store.[10]

On 13 September 2017, Redbooth merged with AeroFS, a company that develops collaboration applications. The new combined company is called Redbooth.[11]
