The funding allows Quali to further increase their momentum in the enterprise accelerating growth in cloud, security and DevOps use-cases. Over the past two years, the company has demonstrated high double digit annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth and expanded into the enterprise. It has added new customer logos across a variety of segments, including the likes of Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Department of Defense and IBM, among others. The company has also transitioned to a subscription-led offering from a perpetual license-based sales approach with more than 70 percent of its revenues coming from subscription. Finally, the company has been able to dramatically expand the use-cases that are enjoying significant ROI and lower TCO as a result of implementing CloudShell. With this investment JVP joins the Quali board with Yoav Tzruya, JVP’s General Partner, taking on the role of Board Chairman. Lior Koriat, CEO and Boaz Dinte, Managing Partner at Evergreen Ventures will continue to serve on the board. The board observers would also include representation from Dell Ventures and Kreos Capital.

“Quali is a proven category leader in the Public and Private Cloud Automation category. With multiple companies addressing the global trend of digital transformation, we constantly witness organizations struggling with streamlining ever-increasing complex deployments. We believe the need for CloudShell will continue to grow,” said Yoav Tzruya, General Partner at JVP. “We are encouraged to see existing customers re-engage to deploy more use-cases, as well as additional industries and geographies that are
engaging with the company.”

Quali’s Cloudshell-based solutions improve productivity of dev/test engineering organizations, accelerate the sales cycles for selling organizations and help improve the security and compliance
posture for security teams. Its blueprint-based, self-service approach has been demonstrated to increase productivity by 30 percent, cut down costs by 40 percent and increase infrastructure efficiency by more than 30 percent.

“We’re seeing a strong uptake of our solutions with hundreds of customers globally as they invest in digital transformation initiatives,” said Lior Koriat, CEO of Quali. “We’re quite pleased to raise this new round of funding and welcome the investment from JVP that has a demonstrated track record of building great companies. The Quali CloudShell platform is a proven leader in the industry and this new round allows us to accelerate our go-to-market and increase our innovation velocity.”

In addition to JVP, existing investors including Dell Ventures, Kreos Capital, Evergreen Ventures, Gemini Israel Ventures and ORR Partners participated in the round.
