In 2005 the company secured its first institutional investment from Eden Ventures. In 2006, Tribold contracted with its first major Tier 1 customer, Telstra in Australia, and this was closely followed by its first major European Tier 1 customer, Telekom Austria. In 2007 it also secured a US$15 million institutional funding round from Draper Fisher Jurvetson Esprit and Eden Ventures.
