A German startup that is helping brands like Adidas, Dropbox and DHL become become cloud-native has pulled in $80 million in a Series D round led by Goldman Sachs.
LeanIX is based in Bonn, Germany with offices in Boston (which serves as its U.S. headquarters), the Netherlands and India. The company has over 230 employees on its payroll worldwide.
The round, which brings LeanIX’s total funding to over $120 million, also saw participation from existing investors including Insight Partners and DTCP.
Founded in 2012 by André Christ and Jörg Beyer, LeanIX is an enterprise software startup that helps companies adapt to cloud computing. As Christ puts it, "LeanIX is like Google Maps for a company’s IT landscape."
With LeanIX's cloud native suite, clients can automatically discover used cloud services across major platforms such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud and capture data about microservices.
"We provide information in the appropriate context to determine the exact location and to plan the future journey in a way the business understands," Christ said in a statement. "Looking at future states of your architecture should be as simple as jumping to a point in time in your backup with a time machine."
The company plans to direct the proceeds of the round toward developing the microservices and cloud computing segments of its business.
