Growth accelerates with nearly 5,000 customers choosing JumpCloud\u2019s directory platform for a modern approach to securely connect workers to their IT resources and applications <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n LOUISVILLE, Colo. \u2013 September 13, 2021 \u2013<\/strong> JumpCloud<\/a> today announced a $159M series F round led by Sapphire Ventures with additional participation from Owl Rock, Whale Rock Capital, Sands Capital, and Endeavor Catalyst. Existing investors General Atlantic, funds and accounts managed by BlackRock, and H.I.G. Growth Partners participated in the financing, as well. This investment follows the company\u2019s January 2021 $100M series E, more than tripling the company\u2019s valuation to $2.56B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JumpCloud\u2019s accelerated growth comes as organizations look for a better way to securely manage hybrid and remote work. IT teams trying to support a modern workforce have lacked a single solution that supports heterogeneous applications, devices, and security needs. Many have been forced to adopt a legacy on-premises directory and extend it with multiple standalone solutions like SSO, MFA, and device management \u2014 or skip a directory entirely and work from dozens of individual systems to connect employees to resources. JumpCloud provides a superior alternative: a single, comprehensive directory platform that unifies user and device management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJumpCloud has helped us put together all of the identity and device management pieces in a much needed way during the pandemic,\u201d said Kyle McKenna, manager of enterprise technology at Cars.com. \u201cAs our company grows, the scalable JumpCloud platform allows us to more easily manage all of our devices and users, which saves us time and resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) IT teams and managed services providers (MSPs) across the world choose JumpCloud to connect their users to the IT resources they need and improve security with a modern, simpler, and more cost-effective solution. The company now has nearly 5,000 customers spanning 100+ countries, 1,300 MSP partners, and a 149% net revenue retention (NRR) rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIT teams have a strategic responsibility to ensure work gets done securely and efficiently. The pandemic accelerated their need for an infrastructure platform that is not limited by legacy domain-based approaches, or requires multiple point solutions,\u201d said Rajat Bhargava, CEO and co-founder, JumpCloud. \u201cJumpCloud reimagined the directory with a comprehensive, modern platform that gives IT admins an easier path to adopt Zero Trust security models for more granular access control, with a user-friendly experience. This investment validates our vision and product-led growth model, which have enabled us to build a product that is easy for IT teams to love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n JumpCloud\u2019s growth is fueled by its easy-to-adopt cloud directory and rapid delivery of new innovations that expand the number of use cases IT can support from a single platform. In 2021 the company delivered hundreds of new product features and enhancements to its platform, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSapphire Ventures is committed to investing in and building companies of consequence.
