DigitalOcean has closed a $37.2MM Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from existing investors IA Ventures and CrunchFund. The company was founded in 2011 with a mission to simplify the cloud infrastructure for developers. With a focus on user experience and simplicity, DigitalOcean grew rapidly after launching its SSD-powered cloud, and has since achieved significant milestones such as launching over 1 million virtual servers and processing 18 million events. The funding will be used to expand the engineering team, build services that make developers' lives easier, and support the community through conferences, meetups, and sponsorship of developer initiatives.
