 Jasomi was unusual (although not unique) in that it shunned venture capital, relying initially on self-funding by the founders, and later on money invested by friends and family.A total of about $2.8m was raised, much of that in the few months preceding the company's acquisition.The company's main competitors were Acme Packet and Kagoor Networks that had each raised about $40m, and Netrake that had raised about $70m.
