Network Express: A Bolder Ventures Transaction
Network Express, Inc. was a pioneer in the early days of the internet, specializing in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of innovative telecommunications hardware and software. The company gained recognition as a leader in ISDN router development, enabling geographically dispersed computers to communicate and exchange data. With a strong foothold in the Japanese market and operations in the United States, Canada, and Germany, Network Express established itself as a key player in the telecommunications industry.
Bolder Ventures provided the go-to-market capital and strategic support that allowed Network Express to achieve its goals and become a publicly traded company. Under Bolder’s guidance and leadership, the company successfully expanded its offerings and market reach. This growth culminated in its acquisition by Cabletron at a valuation seven times higher than its IPO price. Network Express’s legacy of innovation and success continues to impact the industry to this day.
