Software Raises $15m Series A From Next47, 8VC

Software development is transforming the world. Our mission is to transform software development. 

We provide engineering organizations with the data and metrics they need to measure their DevOps performance—and how they compare to global and industry benchmarks. By making DevOps more visible, we believe teams can eliminate delays, reduce developer frustration, and improve daily work to create a more efficient and predictable development pipeline.

Today we’re excited to announce our $15m Series A led by Next47 and 8VC to continue that mission. 

Great development starts with better visibility

Over the last decade we’ve witnessed a growing divide in the world of software development.

Technology giants deploy code daily across complex systems managed by tens of thousands of developers. They coordinate hundreds of projects and teams, spread around the world and across time zones. As a result, they consistently deliver value to their customers, set their industry’s pace for innovation, and, ultimately, win the marketplace.

Many companies are falling behind. Their engineering teams struggle against roadblocks and delays during the development process. Developers battle distractions—too many meetings, too many interruptions, and too much wait time on processes and systems. It takes months or quarters for teams to see their ideas turned into reality.

We’re on a mission to help engineering teams around the world bridge this growing divide. 

Our goal is to provide data and metrics that empower teams to continuously measure and improve their DevOps performance. With Software's DevOps metrics platform, we believe every team can benefit from faster delivery speed and improved quality. 

When you connect your DevOps tools, you’ll be able to explore your data in minutes—not days or weeks—with no setup or services required. You’ll get immediate access to your team’s key DevOps metrics, including lead time and delivery frequency. With global data, you can benchmark your metrics against high-performing engineering organizations in our community. 

Looking to the future 

Over the last few years we’ve built an incredible community of over 250,000 developers. Our data platform provides DevOps metrics to engineering teams from more than 150 countries working across dozens of different industries. 

Thank you to the teams who use Software every day and have shared their valuable feedback with us over the last few years. Thank you to our investors, Next47 and 8VC, for their belief in our vision and team. 

Over the next ten years, software development teams will need to innovate as rapidly as the technology they create. We can help you rise to that challenge.
