18. TRACING THE JOURNEY
1984
Established on a very tight budget.
Late 1980’s
The commercial market for internetworking began to develop,
CISCO's reasonably priced, high-performance routers gained
recognition.
High rate of sales growth, but company was still short of cash.
Turned to a venture capitalist, Donald T. Valentine of Sequoia
Capital.
19. CONTINUED…
February 1990
CISCO Systems went public (with a market capitalization of $224 million) and
was listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
Early 1990’s
Rapid Growth As Networks Proliferate.
1993-94
First Wave of Acquisitions, as it acquired Crescendo Communications.
CISCO hired talent from smaller, struggling networking companies which
were laying off personnel.
20. CONTINUED…
Late 1990’s
CISCO Systems was the
undisputed king of the
networking world.
Early 2000’s
CISCO's market value
surpassed $ 450
billion, making it the third
most valuable companies in
the world behind Microsoft
and General Electric Company.
21. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN
The VC however, required that the owners surrender to him a controlling
stake in the company.
Mr. Valentine, thus, became chairperson and then hired an outsider, John
Morgridge, as the company's new president and chief executive officer.
The new CEO also replaced the friends of the couple who were the back bone
of CISCO.
Under the new CEO, the husband was given the title of chief scientist and the
wife was made head of customer services.
However, later the wife did not get along well with the new CEO and so, she
was fired from her own company and the husband also quit.

• Venture capital entrepreneurship and innovation have been closely
connected
• Though most of venture funds state that high technology is their priority only
firms started by experienced persons find support by VCFs.
• Capability for assessing venture projects continues to be a weak area
because of the lack of prior experience.
