==History==
Krish Ramakrishnan and Alagu Periyannan founded Blue Jeans Network in 2009, the development of which ended in six months of field trials for the technology. Prior to founding the company, Ramakrishnan was an entrepreneur-in-residence at Accel Partners and Periyannan was the CTO of Blue Coat Systems as well as a former executive for Apple Inc. Stu Aaron, the company's chief commercial officer, described the early work as, "Ultimately, what we're trying to do is make video conferencing as comfortable and as casual as your pair of jeans." The company was able to acquire $23.5 million in venture capital from Accel Partners, NEA, and Norwest Venture Partners, and launched its commercial service on June 29, 2011〔〔 with Ramakrishnan as CEO.
Upon launching, ''Channel Insider'' wrote that, "Blue Jeans officials said the company's any(ware) video conferencing offering will enable people using disparate video collaboration technologies not only enterprise-focused products like those from Cisco Systems and Polycom, but also more consumer-facing offerings from companies like Google communicate with each other without having to worry about new infrastructures or protocols. Essentially, Blue Jeans takes advantage of the cloud, creating a meeting environment in which visual communications users of any products can engage with anyone other people, regardless of what products they use."
The company sought to open up videoconferencing to companies across the board, including small businesses and freelancers, in addition to the traditional market of larger corporations. In its first 75 days, Blue Jeans grew to 4,000 subscribers from 500 firms.〔 Upon launching, Deutsche Telekom became the company’s first major channel partner. The agreement between the firms was to develop "a scalable, interoperable videoconferencing solution in Europe by the end of the year".〔 In 2011 and 2012 it added other channel partners, including Intercall, iVCI, York Telecom, and AVI/SPL.〔〔 Blue Jeans has been used by more than 300,000 people worldwide.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blue Jeans )〕 In 2013 Blue Jeans Network expanded its user base to the UK and Australia. In November 2013, Ari Levy of ''Businessweek'' wrote that, "Blue Jeans has raised about $100 million in venture funding and estimates it will stream 1 billion minutes worth of meetings during 2014, a tenfold increase from this year."〔
