NetBird is a Berlin-based software company that offers an open-source network security platform designed to create secure, private networks for organisations of all sizes. The product eliminates the need for port configuration, centralised gateways, and complex firewall rules, dramatically reducing operational complexity for engineers and DevOps teams. Since launching on GitHub in 2021, NetBird has grown through a product-led, community-driven model in which users freely test the software in their homelabs before championing wider adoption. Its customer roster spans managed service providers, technology firms, large enterprises, and public-sector organisations, with names such as Sport Alliance, netgo, Signicat, and VIEW Group already deploying the platform. NetBird positions itself as a European-developed, privacy-focused alternative to legacy VPN solutions that often suffer from recurring security vulnerabilities and heavy maintenance burdens. The company’s go-to-market strategy centres on transparent open-source development, minimal friction onboarding, and strong community engagement. Fresh capital from its Series A round gives NetBird the resources to extend engineering efforts, broaden product use cases, bolster community support, and continue global expansion.
