CEO: Sirish Raghuram

The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based startup has seen spectacular growth over the past year by delivering on-premise OpenStack-based infrastructure, managed by a cloud software layer. Platform9 recently accepted Series C funding of $22 million, with Hewlett Packard EnterpriseE participating in the round, and plans to invest in scaling the business, which saw a 300 percent jump in revenue last year.
