Opsera, a startup that’s building an orchestration platform for DevOps teams, today announced that it has raised a $15-million Series-A funding round led by Felicis Ventures. New investor HMG Ventures, as well as existing investors Clear-Ventures, Trinity-Ventures and Firebolt-Ventures also participated in this round, bringing the company’s total funding to $19.3-million.
Founded in January 2020, Opsera lets developers provision their CI/CD tools through a single framework. Using this framework, they can then build and manage their pipelines for a variety of use cases, including their software delivery lifecycle, infrastructure as code, and SaaS application releases.
The company’s two co-founders, Chandra Ranganathan and Kumar Chivukula, originally met while working at Symantec—Ranganathan spent three years at Uber and Chivukula led hybrid-cloud services at Symantec.
“In the DevOps landscape, […] there is a plethora of tools, and a lot of people are writing the glue code,” said Chivukula. “At Opsera, our mission and goal is to bring order to the chaos. And the way we want to do this is by giving choice and flexibility to the users and provide no-code automation using a unified framework.”
“This is why we got so interested in investing… There’s no way we’re throwing out a bunch of our internal stuff. This would just wreak havoc on our engineering team,” said Wesley Chan, managing director for Felicis Ventures.
Opsera plans to use the funding to grow its engineering team and accelerate its go-to-market efforts.
