Cloud Cruiser is a cloud-based financial management company based in Silicon Valley.[1] Founded in January 2015 by David Zabrowski and Gregory Howard,[2] Cloud Cruiser has offices in Roseville and San Jose, California, and the Netherlands.[3][4]

History

Cloud Cruiser was founded in January 2010 by Zabrowski and Howard.[2][5] Zabrowski was a general manager at Hewlett-Packard. He also became CEO of Neterion in 2002 and was Entrepreneur in Residence at Wavepoint Ventures.[2][4][5][6] Howard was a software developer and later the development director for CIMS Lab.[4][5] He also worked for IBM Corporation and the Computer Task Group.[4]

Cloud Cruiser partnered companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, VMware, Amazon Marketplace and Cisco.[5] In July 2010, Wavepoint Ventures led Cloud Cruiser's first round of funding.[7] It included investments from Roger Akers of Akers Capital and other San Francisco Bay Area angel investors.[4] In March 2011, Cloud Cruiser came out of stealth mode and released its eponymous software later that year.[8]

In June 2012, the company raised an additional $6 million in series B funding, led by ONSET Ventures.[5][9] In 2013, Cloud Cruiser became available for Windows Server 2012 R2 through Microsoft Azure.[10]

In February 2014, the company's software was made available to OpenStack users through Rackspace.[11] Cloud Cruiser started offering OpenStack integration in 2011.[12] In October 2014, Cloud Cruiser 4 was released.[13]

In 2017, Hewlett Packard Enterprise acquired the company.[14]
