History

Redbooth, previously known as Teambox Technologies S.L., who developed Teambox, 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 $193,400 (140,000)[4] and an additional United States dollar 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 21 January 2014, after gaining 650,000 users, Teambox was renamed to "Redbooth, Inc.".[8] Later that year, on 18 November 2014, Redbooth announces a $11 million Series B round, led by Altpoint Ventures and Avalon Ventures. Redbooth's total funding was brought to $17.5 million.[9]

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

On 13 September 2017, Redbooth announced that it had merged with AeroFS, a company that develops collaboration applications. The new combined company is called Redbooth, and products from both companies will be supported going forward.[11]
