Bang Networks
Overlay network platform for LAN delivery and application messaging
About Bang Networks
Bang Networks was a San Francisco-based company founded in 1999 by Bob Rosin. The company developed an overlay network framework that utilized object-oriented routing to enhance the quality of Local Area Network (LAN) delivery and application messaging. Its core product, the Bang Object Router, was a network routing device designed to facilitate secure, content-aware object routing.
The firm successfully raised a total of $32 million in venture capital. One of its significant funding events was a Series B round on November 5, 2001, which raised $14 million and included investors such as Atlas Venture, Western Technology Investment, and Sequoia Capital. This capital was intended to further product development and expand its sales force on the east coast.
Bang Networks aimed to enable businesses to run real-time, enterprise-class applications over the Internet. Despite shipping its product to customers and raising substantial funding, the company is now considered deadpooled.
