The CloudBees PaaS was the first production PaaS to support the entire application lifecycle from development to deployment. Sacha Labourey founded the company in early 2010, and major investors include Matrix Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Verizon Ventures. CloudBees is headquartered in San Jose, CA with additional offices in Lewes, DE, Richmond, VA, Brussels, Belgium and Neuchâtel, Switzerland.

History
Sacha Labourey is the founder and CEO of CloudBees. Labourey created the company to provide developers with a cloud platform that made development of Java applications faster and easier. Before starting CloudBees, Labourey led JBoss Europe, ultimately becoming CTO and remaining in that role through the Red Hat acquisition of JBoss in June 2006. He left Red Hat in 2009 and founded CloudBees one year later. With several of its management and core developers coming from JBoss, CloudBees has expertise in middleware and is a proponent of open source.
In September 2014, CloudBees stopped offering runtime PaaS services in order to focus solely on Jenkins as a tool for continuous delivery both on-premises and in the cloud. Kohsuke Kawaguchi is the lead developer and founder of the Jenkins project as well as the company's CTO. Several other Jenkins core committers are also employed by CloudBees. In 2016, the company expanded its services by releasing a private Software as a Service (SaaS) version of its continuous delivery platform. In 2016, CloudBees formed an alliance with GitHub, CA Techologies and 12 other IT solutions providers in order to streamline software development and delivery in DevOps.
Since 2010, CloudBees has raised a total of $50 million in venture financing:
