Cloud Management Firm CloudHealth Technologies Raises Million
Cloud management software provider CloudHealth Technologies announced Tuesday it has raised $20 million to increase support for all enterprise cloud environments in a series C funding round led by Sapphire Ventures. Sapphire joins existing investors Scale Venture Partners, .406 Ventures, and Sigma Prime Ventures, and managing director Jai Das will join the CloudHealth board of directors.
Between the three funding rounds CloudHealth has now raised $40 million in total. The first was in 2013, and Ariel Tseitlin of ScaleVP joined CloudHealth’s board in the $12 million B round just over a year ago. CloudHealth said it will spend its current funding round on sales, marketing, engineering, support, and “customer success.”
“Sapphire Ventures has a proven track record of creating global category leaders, which is why we are proud they are leading this round,” said CloudHealth Technologies CEO and co-founder Dan Phillips. “Sapphire engaged with us immediately after we closed our B round and spent the following year learning about our business and culture. During that time, the Sapphire team provided tremendous value to us and aligned very well with our culture. It was an ideal process with a VC in terms of the value and commitment they demonstrated.”
CloudHealth’s cloud analytics platform enables clients to visualize, optimize, and automate of cloud environments, and the company said its clients have used its insights to formulate policies to significantly reduce cloud costs. Big name CloudHealth clients include Dow Jones and Acquia.
“We are very impressed with CloudHealth’s leadership, strategy and ability to execute in this rapidly evolving market,” said Das. “As the cloud plays an increasingly integral role in enterprise business, companies that can wring the most value out of their cloud resources are going to come out on top. CloudHealth helps its customers do just that, and we look forward to applying our enterprise experience and network to help the company drive growth.”
