Jenkins Startups

Sauce Labs, founded in 2009 by former Google engineers around the open-source Selenium framework, provides cloud-based automated testing for web and mobile applications. In a 2017 interview, CEO Charles Ramsey said the company serves over 3,500 customers, with about 500 on annual contracts averaging around $50,000, and the host estimated annual revenue at over $30 million, which Ramsey confirmed. The company raised a $70 million round in November, valued at roughly $150 million post-money, and used the funds to acquire Berlin-based TestObject to strengthen its mobile testing capabilities.

Bitnami, founded in 2013 (building on predecessor BitRock since 2005), provides a catalog of over 140 packaged applications across 14 different platforms for leading cloud vendors like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud. With over one million deployments per month, the company generates revenue by selling to cloud vendors directly and is launching a new productized offering for corporate IT departments in Q1. Almost entirely bootstrapped with $2M from Y Combinator and convertible notes, Bitnami has grown to 75 employees across San Francisco and distributed globally.
