How did Taqua do as a startup?
It survived and kept attracting investors, which says a lot for a company founded in 1998. In February 2004, Tekelec bought Taqua for about $85 million in cash and some other considerations that took the closing purchase price closer to $92 million. That was a few bucks short of the more than $140 million the company had raised in venture capital money during its lifetime.
