History

Redback Networks was founded in August 1996 by Gaurav Garg, Asher Waldfogel, and William M. Salkewicz.[3] The company received seed money from Sequoia Capital.[4]

In May 1999, during the dot-com bubble, the company became a public company via an initial public offering. After pricing at $23 each, shares soared 266% on the first day of trading.[5]

In November 1999, the company acquired Siara Systems, which at the time only had products in the prototype stage, for $4.3 billion in stock.[6]

In 2000, its share price peaked at $198 but fell to $0.27 in October 2002, after the burst of the dot-com bubble.[7]

In August 2000, the company acquired Abatis Systems.[8]

In October 2000, the company opened a regional headquarters in Hong Kong.[9]
