History

CloudBees was founded in 2010 by Sacha Labourey and Francois Dechery. Later that year, CloudBees acquired InfraDNA, a company run by Kohsuke Kawaguchi, the creator of Jenkins.[5][7]

In September 2014, CloudBees stopped offering runtime PaaS services and began to focus on its enterprise Jenkins for on-premises and cloud-based continuous delivery.[4][10] Also in 2014, Kohsuke Kawaguchi, the lead developer and founder of Jenkins, became CloudBees' CTO.[7][10]

In 2016, the company added a Software as a Service (SaaS) version of its continuous delivery software.[12]

In February 2018 CloudBees acquired cloud-based continuous delivery company Codeship.[13]

In 2019, CloudBees acquired Electric Cloud and Rollout.[14]

In 2020, Kawaguchi left his role as CTO of CloudBees to found a new company, Launchable.[15]

Since 2010, CloudBees has raised a total of over $100 million in venture financing from investors such as Matrix Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Verizon Ventures, Blue Cloud Ventures, Unusual Ventures, Delta-v Capital, HSBC, and Golub Capital Late Stage Lending.[3][5][16][17][18][9]
