After becoming a $1.9 billion company, Austin, Texas-based NinjaOne is set to grow its presence in Tampa Bay.

NinjaOne, an information technology management company, closed a $231 million investment round on Feb. 6 led by Iconiq Growth, the investment arm of San Francisco-based Iconiq Capital. The investment raised the company’s valuation to $1.9 billion. That means its Oldsmar office, which employs around 15% of the company workforce, can continue adding employees.  

“We are thrilled about this investment and its impact as we continue to grow the business,” Chris Matarese, the president, CFO and co-founder of NinjaOne, told Tampa Bay Inno.

The office space in Oldsmar has available workspace, and NinjaOne is hiring across the company and extensively in the Tampa region, Matarese said. The local office employs around 150 people and is the only other U.S. office besides its headquarters in Austin. It also has offices throughout Europe.

The company has been successful in finding a talent base to draw from in Tampa Bay and has continued to grow its presence since it moved to the area in 2022, Matarese said.

“We are proud of our team in Tampa — they are a huge contributor to NinjaOne’s growth and success,” Matarese said. 

The Tampa Bay Business Journal nominated NinjaOne’s office as a 2022 Best Place to Work honoree.
