Summary

CircleCI has announced a $31 million Series C funding round led by Top Tier Capital Partners, with participation from Industry Ventures and Heavybit, joining existing investors. Since its inception in 2011, CircleCI has evolved to meet the growing complexity of software development, transitioning from a simpler platform to one that supports the demands of modern engineering teams who are building products with thousands of microservices in multiple languages. The company now processes over 7 million builds per month, having successfully reduced build times and increased capacity. Their 2018 focus is on scaling up, enhancing intelligent automation, and simplifying user experience to support both small teams and large enterprises, aiming to streamline the journey from idea to delivery. With plans for proactive alerting and re-routing to prevent build failures, CircleCI is committed to improving productivity and code quality, inviting those interested in shaping the future of software delivery to join their team.
