Software company PagerDuty went public at the New York Stock exchange on Thursday sending its stock soaring more than 50%, only to be overshadowed by the company's trusty mascot, Pagey.
Pagey, inspired by the old-fashioned pager, was born in 2013, four years after the birth of PagerDuty. He was born into to a large family of Dutonians, people who work at PagerDuty, who missed pagers and wanted one they could call on their own, according to the company. The company's CEO Jennifer Tededa told CNBC's Squawk Alley that the IPO is a great opportunity for a less known company to become popular.But times haven't always been easy for Pagey. PagerDuty is used by developers at over 11,000 companies, including Slack, Box, Gap and Netflix. Pagey is always competing with other tech mascots in the San Francisco Bay Area for attention and love.
