  • CloudBees recently announced it has closed a $150 million Series F financing round at a pre-money valuation of $1 billion. These are the details.

CloudBees — a leading software delivery platform for enterprises — recently announced it has closed a $150 million Series F financing round at a pre-money valuation of $1 billion. And the company also closed a $95 million debt facility to accelerate growth.

The funding round was led by client vehicles advised by Goldman Sachs Asset Management Private Credit with new investments from funds affiliated with Morgan Stanley Private Credit and Bridgepoint Credit, along with repeat investors HSBC, Golub Capital, and Delta-v Capital.

The new funding round will be used by CloudBees to advance and accelerate product innovation, recruit and develop talent, expand its footprint in markets like the Asia Pacific, and broaden its global and regional partnerships.

CloudBees has a decade-long history of being the go-to software delivery provider for enterprises, including market powerhouses like Autodesk, Broadridge, Capital One, DZ BANK, Fidelity Investments, HSBC, IHG, Morningstar, Pegasystems, Salesforce, Social Security Administration, the United States Air Force, and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. And the CloudBees roster boasts 21 customers with annual recurring revenue greater than $1 million.  About 41% of CloudBees’ customers have annual revenue above $1 billion and 26 percent have more than 10,000 employees.

KEY QUOTES:

“CloudBees shapes the way some of the most sophisticated businesses deliver software and innovation to their customers. It’s how enterprises compete and win in a world that is transformed by the continuous delivery of meaningful, secure, and compliant digital experiences. This investment round will help CloudBees achieve new levels of innovation, attract and grow talent, and expand globally. One thing, however, will remain the same: our hyper-focus on guiding enterprise customers – operating at immense scale in the most demanding, complex, and multi-cloud environments – to reimagine the way they build their platforms for software delivery.”
