CircleCI
CEO: Jim Rose
Investors have been pouring money into CircleCI over the last year as the startup scales its popular CI/CD toolkit primarily delivered through a Software-as-a-Service model into international markets.
The San Francisco-based company was founded in 2011, and then merged with Distiller in 2014 to add continuous integration capabilities for mobile application developers. Since then, CircleCI has become a common fixture in cloud-native IT landscapes—used by some of the world’s largest enterprises as well as many Internet giants.
Two recent funding hauls—a $56 million round last July followed by a $100 million Series E round closed in April—are now fueling the addition of new capabilities, especially around change validation, which customers are increasingly demanding to enable rapid and effective code updates.
