History
MokaFive was founded in 2005 by four Stanford computer scientists. Monica Lam had an office in the same hallway as VMware founder, Mendel Rosenblum. The technology underwent ten years of research and development at Stanford. Official rollout of the first MokaFive Suite was in April, 2008.
MokaFive was involved early on in the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) movement. MokaFive’s technology allows users to bring their own computers, laptops, tablets, or smartphones to the workplace and download the company desktop.
In 2007, Khosla Ventures and Highland Capital Partners invested $15 million in MokaFive. NGEN Partners contributed to a $21 million funding push in 2010.
Dale L. Fuller is currently the director of MokaFive. He officially took on the role on March 8, 2012. Fuller had served on the board of directors since 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“If usually the “present age” is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
