Summary

DigitalOcean has closed a Series B funding round worth $83 million, led by Access Industries with participation from Andreessen Horowitz. This funding aims to help developers thrive and scaling startups grow on their infrastructure as the company continues to evolve from its humble beginnings as a simple cloud offering two datacenter regions in 2011. Over the years, DigitalOcean has expanded its hardware footprint, added features, and addressed pain points for developers, including creating a simple control panel and now focusing on addressing challenges as they grow, such as spinning up servers and creating production environments to handle load at any scale. The company is grateful to its community, investors, and team for their support and looks forward to writing the next chapter together.
