When it started, the SKYRIS team was influenced by the explosion of file-sharing programs after Napster’s rise to popularity and the failures of early peer-to-peer programs like Gnutella.
NEOnet is the product of SKYRIS Networks, a company Wilken and Srivastava created during their senior year at Harvard. Crick joined them a year later.
SKYRIS eventually sold the technology to Streamcast Networks, the parent company of Morpheus, and Crick and Wilken began to work for Morpheus full-time. Srivastava stayed on as head of SKYRIS under Stirling Bridge, which owns Streamcast.
Although SKYRIS was the first to fully develop a radically new approach to file-sharing, the idea for the technology was widespread by 2001.
Srivastava, now a tutor in Leverett House, said that she hopes future students will follow in the footsteps of SKYRIS.
