About

Founded in 1999 as AliphCom by Alexander Asseily and Hosain Rahman, Jawbone was an American technology company headquartered in San Francisco that became a leader in wearable devices and consumer electronics. The company developed the Jawbone Bluetooth headset, the Jambox wireless speaker, and the UP fitness tracker. Jawbone raised over $900 million in venture capital and was at one point valued at approximately $3 billion. Despite early product innovation, the company struggled with hardware reliability issues and intense competition, eventually entering liquidation in July 2017.
