Weaveworks, a London, UK-based maker of a network for Docker, secured $5m in Series A financing.
The round was led by Accel Partners. In conjunction with the funding, Kevin Comolli, Partner at Accel Partners, will join the board.
The company intends to use the funds to expand the product development team and build out a new US organization to complement its existing UK operation (formerly known as Zettio Ltd.).
Led by Alexis Richardson, CEO, Weaveworks is the maker of the Weave open source, software-defined network for Docker, which enables customers to build and migrate applications to run on container technology. It has been deployed in conjunction with CoreOS, Kubernetes, Clocker, etc., and used to connect together containers spanning multiple data centers and providers (AWS, Azure, and local) running everything from traditional multi-tier, multi-host applications to clusters of distributed datastores such as Riak, Cassandra, Scalaris and a multi-tenant Spark-based system with subnet isolation.
The company is hiring ([email protected]). It will open a San Francisco office soon.
