Sonatype

Sonatype is a company that has been on a journey for the last 15 years, closely involved in the rise of open-source software development. It started as core contributors to Apache Maven, expanding to supporting the world’s largest repository of open-source components (Central) and distributing the popular Sonatype Nexus Repository. As open-source libraries flooded development environments, Sonatype recognized the potential for innovation but also the risks, such as security vulnerabilities and licensing issues. Their vision is centered on enabling organizations to leverage the benefits of open source while mitigating the associated risks. This is achieved through investments in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and human expertise to provide curated intelligence in their products. This approach empowers organizations to make better decisions and innovate at scale. In 2018, Sonatype raised a significant $80.00M in a private equity round investment, with participation from Accel, TPG Capital, Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, Founders Circle Capital, and GS Growth. The company operates in the Cyber Security, Developer Tools, and Enterprise Software industries, with its headquarters located in the United States.
