CloudCheckr,
the leading cloud management platform, announced today that it has
raised $50 million in institutional funding from Level Equity. The
funding round will augment an already profitable business that has
tripled in each of the last three years. CloudCheckr will use the funds
to bolster its market-leading platform for modern enterprises,
government agencies and managed service providers who demand a
comprehensive and scalable multi-cloud management platform that
satisfies cost, security, utilization and compliance concerns.
"Cloud
management is a highly complex but increasingly mainstream issue -
especially for the forward-looking enterprises who are leading the
public cloud revolution," said Aaron Newman, CEO and Co-Founder at
CloudCheckr. "We have had an astonishing amount of interest in our
business as it has continued to scale quickly and profitably and were
very deliberate in our timing and choice to bring on an institutional
investment partner that would help accelerate our lead in this exciting
marketplace. Level's investment is validation of the pressing need to
get visibility and control of exploding cloud environments and we're
excited to keep building, innovating and giving organizations the tools
they need to go fast at scale."
"We're
thrilled to be partnered with Aaron and the whole CloudCheckr team,"
said Benjamin Levin, Founder and Partner at Level Equity. "It is rare to
see a profitable, bootstrapped business with this scale and growth
trajectory in a market of this size where most of the competitors have
raised gobs of venture capital. We were attracted to CloudCheckr's track
record of rapid, profitable, and bootstrapped growth as well as deep
technology leadership and the immense opportunity that exists to deliver
sophisticated, unified cloud management for complex enterprises across
the globe."
The
Series A financing builds on an exceptional year for CloudCheckr which
saw a rapidly growing roster of customers, key executive appointments,
and market momentum in the white-hot areas of cost management,
cybersecurity and cloud automation. CloudCheckr currently services over
150 AWS and Azure authorized resellers and provides support to nearly
40% of all AWS Premier Consulting Partners. In the last year,
CloudCheckr saw its direct client roster grow to manage over $1B+ in
cloud spend for leading enterprises such as Nasdaq, Siemens, and
Regeneron, was honored as a Rochester Top Workplace by the D&C, and
added outstanding industry veterans and experts to the company's
executive ranks.
