Unleash raises a $14M series A to make feature management available open source

Unleash, an open-source feature management tool, originated in 2014 with the aim of decoupling the release of software to production from its release to customers, addressing the team's need for flexibility and technology agnosticism. The recent $14 million Series A funding led by Spark Capital aims to bolster Unleash's position as a go-to tool for developers, emphasizing open-source advantages such as adaptability, community-driven development, and transparency. Unleash's design allows for versatile integration and segmentation capabilities, catering to both end-user and application contexts, with a strong focus on data privacy by ensuring activation strategies are evaluated locally. The funding will facilitate tripling the organization, enhancing product investment, and expanding Unleash's market reach, while maintaining a developer experience that encourages creativity, experimentation, and learning within the community.
