Starfish was founded in 1994 by Philippe Kahn, best known for having founded Borland, credited for creating the first camera phone solution sharing pictures instantly on public networksParks, Maney, Agger, Krey] Kanellos] , and his most recent company Fullpower Technologies. The founding vision of Starfish was global synchronization and integration of wireless and wireline devices, which translated with the TrueSync platform to: "Enter or edit information anywhere, synchronization is automatic everywhere". Starfish developed much of the core intellectual property for device synchronization, especially in the wireless industry. TrueSync was the first Over-The-Air (OTA) synchronization system.

Starfish was successfully acquired by Motorola in 1998 and subsequently became a division of Nokia after Motorola's downturn. Today Starfish's technology is an integral part of the Nokia platform.
