About CloudBees

CloudBees helps organizations build run and govern software factories giving enterprises the confidence to ship software better faster and safer.

Writing code is no longer the bottleneck. Governing what reaches production and validating its impact is. As enterprises adopt agentic coding software is created faster than most teams can review secure and validate. Without consistent governance organizations risk shipping code they cannot explain audit or trust.

CloudBees addresses this challenge without asking teams to replace the tools they already use. Across every toolchain a customer runs CloudBees makes each change - human or AI - visible auditable and accountable before it reaches production. CloudBees Unify is the product behind this: a governance layer with context and control-plane capabilities that enforces consistent policy and evidence across every tool team and workflow.

Founded in 2010 CloudBees is backed by Goldman Sachs Morgan Stanley Bridgepoint Capital HSBC Golub Capital Delta-v Capital Matrix Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners.
