Nitrous Io Raises 6 65M Series A To Build Better Dev Environments

Outside of Bessemer Venture Partners, the Series A round included 500 Startups, Crunchfund, Golden Gate Ventures, Eduardo Saverin, Bill Ackman, Larry Link, Razmig Hovaghimian, and Hari Kumar. Bessemer Venture’s Sunil Nagaraj will be joining the board alongside Andrew J. Solimine, CEO of Nitrous.IO. The idea behind Nitrous.IO is to increase power and performance in the software developer world, much like an expert driver might get by adding nitrous oxide to their engine: hence the name of the company. Developers that use Nitrous.IO can create PHP, Java, Node.JS, Python, Ruby, and Go development environments with teammates via browser-based Web IDE.
