It is a lot of fun for me to announce our investment in CloudCoreo and to welcome the team to our Madrona family. Again.

We have had a great experience working with Tom Hull and Jason Needham through the Union Bay Networks journey, and we have been super impressed by Paul Allen’s insight, understanding and passion about how to bring together deployment and monitoring for security and compliance as one closed loop system. We believe this is essential for businesses to manage their cloud operations as cloud infrastructure continues to change significantly.

As the cloud infrastructure world embraces micro-services and containers to build and deploy at-scale distributed services, a comprehensive devops solution that enables companies to automate and secure the entire cloud operation across multiple cloud and hybrid cloud environments is a must-have solution. CloudCoreo is doing just that and has already proven itself to be an invaluable product for many of its early customers.

We are thrilled to back the compelling vision of this leadership team and be part of a world-class cloud infrastructure and operations focused startup in Seattle, the “Cloud Capital” of the world. All of us at Madrona are jazzed at the potential of what is possible here.

Additionally, we are excited to partner with the folks at Divergent Ventures, Aritstos Ventures and notable angels that provide a variety of complementary experiences, expertise and connections as we embark on this journey.

Looking forward to a fun, impactful and at-scale journey with the CloudCoreo team!
