Small VoIP companies are struggling to make it in a competitive market
03:00PM Saturday May 10 2008 by KathrynV
tags: business · VoIP
It appears that several mid-sized VoIP companies are failing to realize their potential and being edged out of the market. One of the biggest of these companies is Jangl, a VoIP business that began by offering anonymized online calling and then moved on to the development of click-to-call VoIP widgets for social networking sites. Despite having done moderately well in these areas, the venture capitalists backing the business aren’t interested in continuing their support. Talks of acquisitions came to a standstill this week and major players in the organization resigned. It appears that many of them are going to be moving over to work at Jajah, a company that has done significantly well for itself in the VoIP industry over the last year or so. It is unclear what will be happening with Jangl at this time but it seems safe to say that it’s not a name we’ll be hearing much of anymore.

jangl

with all due respect, you should not question the voip market potential based on jangl. there are still many good players left. jangl is a company that did well only in one area that nobody else would touch: voice services for adult and dating sites. i am surprised that jajah would pick up the jangl team because nobody i know thinks highly of them. just look at the ceo who was fired from ooma for being unmanageable and then ran jangl into the ground.

jangl

@ anon38728: the ceo of Jangl was the CEO of Ooma in the beginning, but he did not get fired. They brought in an old timer CEO named Jim Long 6 months into it. Cerda (original CEO) became VP biz dev. The current CEO is the original CTO. Cerda left Ooma because it wasn't happening.

who do you know that doesn't think highly of these guys? everybody i know thinks they're great guys.

Clearing things up

Just to be clear, the core team did not go to Jajah. Michael Cerda and Ben Dean are the only people to go to Jajah, the rest of the team are out trying to find jobs right now.

While Jangl was still alive, Cerda made bad deal after bad deal wasting all the investors money while Dean sat in his office doing nothing. This does not signal the demise of VoIP business, it signals that the company founders did a bad job running a company while the investors did not pay close enough attention.

Now that Jajah is wasting money on the worthless Cerda and Dean, it shows that they have no idea how to run a company either.
