ARIF LIGHTSPEED SOFTWARE

‍ Matthew Howard - General Partner at Norwest Venture Partners So what were some of the key factors that lead to a firm handshake with the Celona founders and a commitment to join the Celona journey. In other words, they’ve backed some of the big disrupters of the past and they are here to support the Celona team into the future. The connecting factor here is that each investor has a track record of supporting other networking companies like Aruba, Airespace and Mist in their early days. Investors like Arif Janmohamed, a partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners Shirish Sathayem, General Partner at Cervin Ventures and Matthew Howard, General Partner at Norwest Venture Partners. These ambitions have been reinforced by our first round of investors who share our vision of creating a global platform that will make cellular wireless accessible and fully consumable by enterprise IT.

After all, our founding team members have built products spanning the entire stack – from chipsets and systems to cloud based software - for companies like Qualcomm, Ruckus Networks, Aruba and Cisco. We had the big hairy goal, and we knew we had the skill set and experience to make it happen. We started Celona with the idea that a combination of 5G radio technology, edge computing and machine learning software will fundamentally change how organizations work and do business.
