Aerohive Networks

Aerohive Networks, founded by Changming Liu, wants to make it easier for large companies and organizations to install Wi-Fi. The company created a Wi-Fi network that can be managed through the cloud, reducing the need for physical controllers, which take up space and can be costly. Currently, the majority of Aerohive's customers are businesses in the health care and education sectors. But to turn around its history of losing money, Aerohive needs to attract customers that represent a broader variety of markets. To do so, the company plans to increase its sales team.
