Originally from Israel, Idit Levine initially moved to Boston to support her husband’s career path as a physics professor at Harvard.
Levine began working at DynamicOps, a software company that was acquired by VMare in 2012. She was a senior software engineer there for three years, and it was there that she grew a love for cloud computing.
“I found my passion. Some people love watching a good TV show. But tech, that's my fun stuff,” Levine said.
That led her to form what is now Solo.io, a 3-year-old company whose cloud-management products help IT customers with everything from traffic management to aggregating data to better understanding market trends and more.
Levine named the company Solo because she is the company’s sole founder. She says she want to assert her independence as a woman founder in tech — an industry in which women hold just 10% of executive-level positions.
While working for other startups, “I got to that point when I realized that I really enjoy what I'm doing, I really had a good idea and I knew I had the ability to lead a company of my own,” Levine said.

Fresh off a Series B funding round of $23M led by Redpoint Ventures and True Ventures, Solo.io employs nearly 70 people in Cambridge and is looking to grow its team to 100 people within the next few months. Rather than creating products for existing problems, Solo.io works to differentiate itself by predicting mass-market problems in technology before they reach major enterprises.
Last year, Levine was recognized as a 2019 “Top Women in Cloud Innovation” Award winner by theCUBE, a tech media company in California.
"Our team, specifically the one in Boston, is extremely brilliant," Levine said. "We hire very young and we show our people where we started and how they can succeed just as much,” Levine said.
