CloudForge

The problem

Engineering teams of 20–200 people spend a fifth of their time on deployment pipelines and cloud set-up instead of the product they sell.

The solution

CloudForge gives every team a ready-made deployment platform on their own cloud account: environments, pipelines and cost limits in one afternoon.

Who it's for

Software companies with 20–200 engineers and no dedicated platform team.

Market

Bottom-up: about 75,000 customers like this in United Kingdom and nearby, worth roughly $200 million a year at our prices.

Competition and edge

Headline metric

3,900 active users, growing 11% a month

The team

Alex knows the customer and has sold to them before; Nikhil has built this kind of system at scale. We have worked side by side since before CloudForge had a name.

Worked together

6–12 months

Hiring

A senior engineer and our first customer-success hire.
