Remote work accelerating cloud transformation and requirement for cloud directory platform<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DENVER, CO \u2013 Jan. 12, 2021 \u2013 JumpCloud announced today that it has added $25 million to its Series E financing, closing the oversubscribed growth round at $100 million. Funds managed by BlackRock led the round, with additional investment from an affiliate of H.I.G. Growth Partners, OurCrowd, and participation from existing investor, General Atlantic. JumpCloud announced its $75 million Series E initial closing on November 10, 2020 and has now raised in total nearly $200 million. The Series E will be used to expand product development, marketing, and sales globally. As part of its move to support growing demand, JumpCloud also announced the addition of Kevin Biggs as Chief Revenue Officer to the executive leadership team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c2020 lock-downs forced organizations to modernize legacy domain-based approaches to IT infrastructure. That has driven demand for JumpCloud\u2019s directory platform, which makes it easier for resource constrained IT teams to adopt a zero trust security model,\u201d said Rajat Bhargava, CEO and co-founder of JumpCloud. \u201cAs global interest in our platform grows, we continue to add experienced talent across our teams. Kevin Biggs is a phenomenal leader who will drive new growth and maturity in our sales organization. His successful track record with Blue Coat, D2L, IBM, and OneLogin, as well as a people focused approach, fit very well with our culture. We are thrilled to have him join.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The explosion of the cloud combined with remote work have fundamentally changed requirements for managing and securing access to the resources people use to get work done. Domain based directories extended through a patchwork of point solutions are too complex and too expensive for many IT teams. JumpCloud reimagined the directory to fit the modern world with an open, cloud-based directory for secure, frictionless access from any authorized device to virtually any IT resource, anywhere. This approach unlocks new possibilities for IT to make work easier and <\/em>more secure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JumpCloud is now used by more than 100,000 organizations spanning over 100 countries, with more than 3,000 customers including Cars.com, GoFundMe, ClassPass, Nimbus Therapeutics, Grab, Pulselive, SlimPay, Foursquare, Beyond Finance, and Funding Societies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

JumpCloud customers have been vocal about their success with the platform. A recent customer survey of roughly 1,000 JumpCloud IT Admins showed that 87% of JumpCloud users have recommended or would recommend JumpCloud. The company received 5 stars in 2020 Gartner Peer reviews<\/a> for its Access Management capabilities, and the Fall G2 Grids recognize JumpCloud as a leader in five Identity Access Management (IAM) vendor review categories: Identity and Access Management (IAM) Software<\/a>, Single Sign-On (SSO)<\/a>, Cloud Directory Services<\/a>, Privileged Access Management<\/a>, and User Provisioning and Governance Tools<\/a>. The company was also awarded 5 stars by SC Magazine in its June product Identity and Access Management vendor review.
