Heptio Named to CNBC's Upstart 100 List
CNBC's Upstart 100 List recognizes Heptio as Promising Startup
SEATTLE, Oct. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Heptio, a software company that simplifies adoption of Kubernetes and cloud native technologies at scale, today announced that it has been named to CNBC's Upstart 100 List. The Upstart 100 List highlights a class of startups that are breaking industry barriers by innovating products, services and business models. Heptio made the list for its approach to cloud native technology—enabling enterprises to make the best use of Kubernetes.
Kubernetes is the fastest growing open source project in history. Gartner predicts more than 50 percent of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production by 2020.1 And in a recent study commissioned by Heptio, more than 60 percent of enterprises today are already using Kubernetes.
Heptio was founded by two of the three original creators of Kubernetes in 2016. The company now has more than 100 employees. Customers include 3 of the 4 largest retailers in the world, and 4 of the 5 largest telcos in the United States. This traction is fueled by Heptio's connection to the open source community.
"We're honored to be included in CNBC's Upstart 100 list. This is much more than a win for Heptio—it's fundamentally a recognition of the incredible effort of the community, and the momentum it has generated for Kubernetes," said Craig McLuckie, CEO and co-founder of Heptio. "We see an incredible opportunity to provide products and expertise to enterprises that want to operate a cloud native infrastructure. It's fitting to be on the Upstart list, because we know we are just getting started."
