Company Performance Metrics
Digital:Convergence allows media companies, manufacturers and virtually all organizations to link their printed or broadcast content and advertisements as well as their products directly to web pages deep within their websites. The company's technology, which includes the :CueCat device and :CRQ software, takes a broadcast viewer or reader of
print media directly to relevant information on the Internet. The :CRQ software responds to a proprietary digital signal called a "cue" that is transmitted. Digital:Convergence became on of the first .dotCom era Unicorns (even before the term was coined). Scheduled for it's IPO lead by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, ING Barings LLC, Banc of America Securities LLC and Bear, Sterns & Co. Inc. The IPO was registered to share an initial 10,000,000 shares at a price which could go as high as $40. The IPO was pushed due to weakening markets and then the company became part of the huge .dotCom market crash. The company was shuttered, however a new company was formed - lead by founder Jovan Hutton Pulitzer; to insure the patents and the technology survived. Those patents matured and are now one of the most financially successful patent portfolios ever created.
