After receiving a $30 million investment, Copenhagen's Keepit is looking to establish a presence in the U.S. and is starting with Fort Worth.
The cloud backup company announced Wednesday it is putting its U.S. headquarters in Fort Worth. Keepit uses blockchain to protect client data across applications such as Microsoft 365, Google, and Salesforce. It has offices and data centers worldwide serving clients across different industries, it said. In September, the company said its largest client had more than 30,000 employees.
“Keepit is excited to formally establish a presence in the United States and to broaden its customer base among U.S. information technology enterprises," said Chris Braden, Keepit’s Vice President, Sales and Channels for the Americas, in a prepared statement. "...The fact that Keepit is built on blockchain technology gives us tremendous competitive differentiators and provides our partners with a distinct advantage and protections when it comes to their cloud-based data. The very encouraging early response from partners is a testament to the demand for Keepit’s product and the huge market opportunity ahead of us.”
The company was founded in 2007 and last September raised $30 million from investor One Peak. The funds allowed the company to work toward doubling its headcount.
