  • Logicworks

    Led · Equity · Dec 2016

    Logicworks launched as a web hosting service in 1993 and moved into managed hosting in the late 1990s. It has since expanded into cloud automation and managed services for enterprises, with a focus on AWS and support for VMware. The company offers managed services for building infrastructure on AWS/VMware, assistance with security and regulatory compliance, and support for modern DevOps and container architectures. Its customers span many verticals and the company is especially strong in healthcare, financial services and commerce. Logicworks sees Datapipe and Rackspace as prime competitors but argues it has stronger automation capabilities and does not have a legacy installed base to defend. The company plans to use the new capital for national and international expansion, product development and potential acquisitions; until today it had raised about $4.6M in outside equity and used $12.5M in debt financing. Logicworks provides enterprise managed hosting, private cloud services, and the infiniCloud dynamic compute platform to media, financial services, healthcare, and SaaS clients. The company emphasizes high‑availability, mission‑critical managed services and over a decade of experience delivering integrated hosting and cloud solutions. infiniCloud was launched in 2010 and already hosts recognized customers including NBC and Kaplan. Logicworks positions its combination of public and private cloud with traditional managed services as a balance of reliability and cost‑effectiveness for enterprises migrating critical applications. The company plans to use new capital to support growth of the infiniCloud platform, expand sales and marketing initiatives, and invest further in software development. Leadership includes President and COO Kenneth Ziegler and founder/Chief Strategy Officer Carter Burden, who continue to serve on the board.

  • Oracle Dyn

    Led · Series B · May 2016

    Dyn was founded in 2001 and began with a DNS service called DynDNS, later expanding into a broader suite of products for monitoring online availability, security, and speed. Its customers include Pfizer, Visa, Netflix, and Twitter. The company is launching a new platform that combines online traffic steering with data and analytics to provide a more comprehensive view of performance. Dyn was largely bootstrapped for over a decade before raising a $38 million Series A, and remains primarily a customer-funded business. CEO Jeremy Hitchcock said the company expects to reach more than $100 million in annualized recurring revenue later this year. Management says the funding will help Dyn move faster to capture more of its market opportunity as online services become more global and complex. Dyn provides DNS and email infrastructure services to enterprises and e‑commerce customers, and is best known for its DynDNS product launched in 2001. The company began as a bootstrap at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and expanded from pure DNS into email delivery in 2010, which now has about 15,000 users. Dyn reports more than 4 million users overall, 2,000 enterprise customers and 450,000 e‑commerce clients, and operates 20 data centers globally. It maintains offices in San Francisco and in Brighton and Wrexham, UK. Management says the company will “double down” on its commitment to be the world leader in Infrastructure-as-a-Service and to cement its leadership position in the growing IaaS market. The company recently completed a $38 million Series A to support those plans.
