Render, a San Francisco, CA-based provider of a cloud application platform, raised $80M in Series C funding.
The round was led by Georgian, with participation from 01A (Dick Costolo) and avra, and existing investors Addition, Bessemer Venture Partners, General Catalyst, and the South Park Commons Fund.
The company intends to use the funds to expand enterprise-focused features, build AI-native capabilities, increase its global footprint, and grow its R&D team.
Led by CEO and Founder Anurag Goel, Render allows developers to deploy applications eliminating the need for complex configuration and management. It improves the abstraction layer from VMs to applications, allowing developers to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.
Key advantages of Render’s cloud include:
- Rapid deployment: allows developers to go from code to production in minutes, not days or weeks.
- Scalability without complexity: scales automatically without the need to understand Kubernetes or other complex cloud systems.
- Cost reduction: reduces the need for specialized DevOps personnel, automates deployment and scaling, and offers a free tier for startups and individuals
- Increased flexibility: supports virtually any application architecture, language, or framework allowing developers to choose the best tools for their projects without constraints.
