Steve Hall

Q: You’ve recently announced $50 million in institutional funding from Level Equity; could you tell us something more?

A: Before last week, CloudCheckr had taken less than $1 million of outside funding since our founding in 2011. Our growth and success was all based on organic bootstrapping and a laser focus on customer success. This funding is important for many reasons—especially as the IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service) space continues to grow, and we look to grow our business to meet customer needs. Of course, we are thrilled because this investment will allow us to accelerate our growth and give us additional resources as we continue to provide a leading Cloud Management Platform in this emerging space. CloudCheckr has always been an engineering company; we have always focused on building awesome technology that is easy to use and provides tremendous value, not on trying to out-market or out-sell others. This funding won’t change that. Our focus will remain on building the most robust, scalable, feature-rich platform we can and ensuring we put our customers first in everything we do.

Q: Who are the primary users of CloudCheckr and what are some of the key challenges you are helping them solve?

A: Organizations using CloudCheckr are primarily modern enterprises, government agencies and Managed Service Providers and Resellers. CloudCheckr helps align IT, Finance, and Security teams around their cloud initiatives. Those teams often struggle with gaining the visibility and control they need to manage their infrastructure, optimize spend, and keep their cloud safe. Enterprises want to expand public cloud usage to take advantage of flexibility and cost savings that public cloud can deliver, however they (a) lack expertise with public cloud environments, (b) need to mitigate waste and excess spending that public cloud self-service and flexibility promotes, and (c) must meet compliance requirements and rising levels of cybersecurity. CloudCheckr is perfectly positioned to help these enterprises manage costs, secure their clouds and automate the processes of doing so to alleviate the resource/skill constraints they currently have. Our platform provides a single pane of glass view across cloud services, providing insights and automation to turn complex data into actionable insights. We help ensure complete governance of cost and expenses, security and compliance, inventory and utilization, and self-healing automation to allow organizations to go fast and stay safe.
