Apprenda’s Exciting Future


I wanted to share a quick note with all SaaSBlogs readers regarding Apprenda. You may have noticed that I haven’t been my prolific writing self as of late, but with good reason! Apprenda is a venture capital backed company, and I was very busy raising another round of funding which can definitely sap your time when it comes to fun stuff like blogging.

Well, it wasn’t all for naught!

I’m writing this post to announce a new round of funding with one of the industry’s leading venture capital firms, NEA. For anyone in the space, you may be well aware of NEA’s track record, and particularly its interest in backing infrastructure software plays like SaaSGrid. We’re thrilled to have them on board! In tough economic times, it’s even more exciting to get such a passionate vote of confidence in the team and product.

To date, we’ve been very successful at growing as a company, acquiring customers, and delivering our message but this round of funding adds the right amount of fuel to catapult Apprenda into a new phase of growth and success. Through this round, we will continue to revolutionize SaaS technology, work with new markets, and solve more problems than we ever have.

I want to thank all SaaSBlogs readers to date; my conversations on SaaSBlogs (and outside) play to my passion of SaaS, added motivation to our success so far, and will continue to be instrumental in the evolution of SaaSGrid and our market story.

Congratulations, Sinclair. Does this mean more marketing or more technology?

Sinclair, I am so happy for you! As you know, I was a big fan of you and Apprenda while you were fundraising, and you have found some fantastic investors. I have no doubt this business will be a big success.

Jim, it means more of both, but with a significant bias toward marketing. We have a great technology as is, and want to get it into more people’s hands and solve more problems. The only way to do that is to get SaaSGrid infront of more people.

Just like any other software shop, however, R&D will still be part of our business;-)

Andres, thanks for the congrats and the vote of confidence!

Congratulations, guys! Much more success to come, I’m sure.

Congrats guys! - It’s a great vote of confidence in this market and very good to hear.

All the best!

True to form, even if you’re not a data house like TheInfoPro, be a thought leader in your space.  If you’re a SaaS company providing app platforms to the cloud, don’t just rely on your homepage, rely on building a network.  One local company is doing just that — see Apprenda.com and SaaSblogs.com.
