The story
Founded by Rahul Sood in 1991, in Calgary.1
The company was founded in 1991 by Rahul Sood, and in 1999 Ravi Sood (brother to Rahul) joined the board of operations. Prior to the acquisition, Voodoo employed roughly 40 people between their Canadian headquarters and their web development office in Bangalore.
Acquisition by HP
On September 28, 2006, Rahul Sood announced on his blog that HP would be acquiring VoodooPC for an undisclosed amount. Sood would assume the position of chief technology officer for HP's Global Voodoo Business Unit.
In August 2007, HP announced the HP Blackbird 002 gaming PC with the label VoodooDNA inside the case, and was released on September 15, 2007.
New direction
Since the acquisition of Voodoo in 2006, the business has been re-developing the brand of Voodoo. This was culminated on 10 June 2008 with the revelation that Voodoo would focus on high-end, top spec computers rather than gaming machines. Voodoo would also continue with Voodoo DNA machines with HP.
In 2009, HP used the Envy line as a high-performance computer without the Voodoo branding or Voodoo DNA.
In 2014, HP relaunched the OMEN brand as a thin and light gaming laptop. Two years later, HP expanded the brand to desktops and monitors.
