Architect is a rapidly growing startup creating a next-generation, cloud application platform that standardizes the way developers and operators work with one another. Developers use our platform to create “portable” applications and provision their own environments, and operators use it to control the tools and policies used to run and deploy to production. This shared standard is exactly what teams need to alleviate pressure on ops and enable developers to deploy on their own without sacrificing operational control and security.
Architect is a venture-backed startup led by engineering leader and entrepreneur, David Thor, who was previously an engineering executive at Confirm.io through its sale to Facebook in 2018. The business has raised $6.5M in funding in only two years from top-tier investors like Next Coast Ventures, NextGen Venture Partners, Comcast Ventures, and more. We've also rallied together a stellar group of angel investors and advisors, including the co-founder of SaltStack, Marc Chenn, and co-founder of LogDNA, Chris Nguyen.
