Codezero, an innovator in secure enterprise microservices development, has announced a $3.5m seed funding round.
The round was led by Ballistic Ventures, a venture capital firm focused solely on funding cybersecurity entrepreneurs and innovations. This funding is a testament to Codezero’s mission to revolutionize the development of microservices across multi-cloud environments, with additional support from a distinguished group of angel investors and advisors.
These include Thomas Dohmke, CEO of GitHub; Nick Caldwell, known for his work at Microsoft, HubSpot, and Peloton; Marty Weiner, of Pinterest and Reddit fame; and James Routh, who has experience at AMEX, CVS, KPMG, and JPMorgan Chase.
Codezero is dedicated to addressing the challenges of developing microservices across various cloud environments. These challenges often force developers to choose between productivity and security. By prioritizing both, Codezero’s innovative approach aims to empower DevOps teams with collaborative, multi-cloud infrastructure solutions.
The firm’s flagship offering, Codezero Teamspaces, is an identity-aware overlay network that enables developers to effortlessly create environments with services spanning local and cloud domains, without needing direct access to the underlying infrastructure or credentials. This solution not only boosts developer productivity but also enhances the quality and speed of code delivery across multiple cloud vendors.
The newly acquired funding will be used by Codezero to expand its sales and marketing efforts and to grow its partner network. This strategic move aims to extend the company’s reach into enterprise DevOps and DevSecOps organizations, cloud-service providers, and cloud-migration specialists, positioning Codezero as a leader in the field of secure, multi-cloud application development.
Ballistic Ventures’ investment in Codezero aligns with the firm’s focus on addressing significant challenges in cybersecurity, specifically within the ‘Shift-Left’ security and ‘Zero Trust’ provisioning of developer access. “Our investment in Codezero fits squarely into two of our investment themes. The Codezero solution solves what is arguably the largest outstanding issue in the ‘Shift-Left’ security theme. It also brings a scalable and manageable ‘Zero Trust’ approach to the provisioning of developer access,” said Roger Thornton, General Partner of Ballistic Ventures, who will also join the Codezero Board of Directors.
The company is poised for growth, leveraging the seed funding to enhance its impact on the cybersecurity landscape, particularly in multi-cloud application development. This investment not only signifies confidence in Codezero’s vision and team but also marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey towards redefining secure, efficient, and collaborative microservices development across diverse cloud environments.
