The round, which brought total funding raised to date to $27m, was led by New Enterprise Associates.

The company intends to us the funds to accelerate growth and expand operations.

Led by CEO Ron Efroni, flox brings Nix to everyone by providing a solution to manage and deploy software in isolated and reproducible development or runtime environments. The company is helping developers and enterprises realize the value of Nix with new capabilities by providing portable, fully-isolated development; test and production environments; a tailored catalog of software packages with flox; and tooling for managing the entire SDLC. flox is also introducing its new open source platform and is expected to release its enterprise platform later this year.

Flox was incubated at DESCOvery, the D. E. Shaw group’s venture studio, and its early backers included Addition and Hetz Ventures. Notable angel investors include Thomas Dohmke, CEO at Github; Guy Podjarny, founder of Snyk; and James Turnbull, former CTO at Microsoft for Startups and VP at Docker, currently CTO at Sotheby’s.
