Incredibuild announced a $140 million investment from ScaleUp investor
Insight Partners. The investment, which includes both primary and secondary
components, will help expand Incredibuild's US operations to meet the
rapidly growing demand for its software development acceleration technology.
The company, which has been profitable from day one, experienced a 55% increase
in revenue in the past year as businesses seek the ability to build and ship
software versions faster without compromising on quality. Lead investor Insight
Partners is joining Fortissimo Capital who acquired Incredibuild in 2018.
Incredibuild provides an out-of-the box platform that harnesses
the power of compute to distribute processes across idle power in a network,
thereby allowing companies to maintain a competitive edge by releasing better
software faster. Built for both the cloud and on-premise
environments, Incredibuild helps solve the time to market challenge and
reduce compute costs by up to 30%. Over 800 customers, including Microsoft,
Amazon, Citibank, Barclays, Adobe, Disney, Intel, Samsung, EPIC Games, and
Nintendo, use Incredibuild to accelerate the development cycle, from code
compilation to testing to release automation. The investment signals strong
confidence in the value of Incredibuild's technology to its existing customer
base, and a promise for continued product innovation and strong customer
support going forward.
"In fiercely competitive markets, top quality frequent releases
are vital," said Tami Mazel Shachar, CEO of Incredibuild, who has been
accelerating the company's growth since joining
a little over a year
ago. "With the new funding,
Incredibuild is poised to expand the market opportunity, enabling companies to
maintain their competitive edge. With cloud adoption being paramount, we plan
to further scale and evolve our software development acceleration platform for
development teams and release managers in verticals such as finance, gaming,
and the growing AR and VR markets."
Investor Insight Partners has an impressive track record of
scaling up companies in the development space, such as JFrog and Docker. Insight
deploys their ScaleUp engine, Onsite, to partner with companies across
functional business areas to help them become market leaders. Insight Partners'
Managing Directors Teddie Wardi and Lonne Jaffe and Senior Associate Brad
Fiedler will be joining Incredibuild's Board of Directors.
"We firmly believe that Incredibuild has built a crucial
technology for any business that wants to develop better software, radically
faster," said Teddie Wardi, Managing Director at Insight Partners. "With our
long history of investing in the development ecosystem, we are confident that
Incredibuild will continue to innovate and build upon their recent
momentum."
"Fortissimo bought Incredibuild in 2018 with belief in the
enormous potential of distributed processing," said Yoav Hineman, Partner at
Fortissimo Capital and board member of Incredibuild. "The investment by Insight
Partners is a great milestone in delivering unparalleled acceleration for
software developers"
