LaunchDarkly Raises $8.7 Million for Feature Flag Management: Separating Business Logic from Code

LaunchDarkly, a feature flag management platform, has successfully raised an 8.7 million Series A funding led by Josh Stein of DFJ. The company's co-founder and CTO, John, expresses excitement about the next chapter for LaunchDarkly. Since its seed round in June 2015, the company has grown from a team of four to serving billions of feature flags daily to clients like AppDirect, CircleCI, Lanetix, and Upserve. The funding will be used to hire more engineers and expand the sales, support, and customer success teams. LaunchDarkly aims to separate business logic from code, allowing software teams to build better products faster while benefiting operations, product, marketing, and sales departments.
