Fuze Box was founded as CallWave by David F. Hofstatter in 1998. Hofstatter secured $30 million in venture funding and then lead the company to profitability in 3 years of operations. In 2004, CallWave achieved approximately $40 million in revenues with $12 million in net earnings. Hofstatter took CallWave public in September of 2004 under the NASDAQ ticker name CALL.[1]
While a public company, CallWave experienced a steady decline in sales and profits including losses for the years 2006 through 2008. Sales declined to $20 million with a net loss of $5.6 million in 2008.[2] The stock price dropped to under $1 in early 2009, thus failing to meet NASDAQ minimum standards.[1]
On July 3, 2009, CallWave (now renamed Fuze Box) bought back all public shares and delisted itself from NASDAQ.[1][3]
