Docker, Inc

Docker, Inc. is the company behind the Docker open source platform. Docker is an open platform for distributed applications that allows developers and IT administrators to build, ship and run applications anywhere. Docker empowers IT organizations to shrink application delivery from months to minutes, frictionlessly move workloads between data centers and the cloud, and improve infrastructure efficiency by 50 percent or more. Inspired by an unparalleled ecosystem and by transparent, open source innovation, Docker technology has been downloaded 120+ million times (1/4/15) and is used by tens of thousands of the world’s most innovative organizations, including Baidu, BBC, eBay, Goldman Sachs, ING, Spotify and Yelp. Docker’s rapid adoption has catalyzed a flourishing ecosystem that actively engages with the project through its open approach: governance, contribution, design, and APIs. This ecosystem includes integration partnerships with AWS, Cloud Foundry, Google, IBM, Microsoft, OpenStack, Rackspace, Red Hat and VMware as well as 20,000+ Docker-based projects (e.g. UIs, management frameworks, monitoring tools) and over 70,000 Dockerized applications. Docker, Inc. is venture backed by AME Cloud Ventures (Yahoo! Founder Jerry Yang), Benchmark (Peter Fenton), Greylock Partners (Jerry Chen), Insight Venture Partners (Jerry Murdock), Sequoia Capital (Bill Coughran), SV Angel (Ron Conway), Trinity Ventures (Dan Scholnick), Y Combinator.
