CloudBees develops a cloud-based platform that provides end-to-end automated software delivery.
Raised $356,200,000.00 from Morgan Stanley Private Credit, Delta-v Capital, Golub Capital, Bridgepoint, HSBC and Goldman Sachs Asset Management.
Principal
2002 - 2018
I was an advisor for several startup companies after leaving Bluestone/HP. We started up RunSignUp as part of Bickel Advisory Services, LLC, but converted to an S Corp named RunSignUp, Inc. I only had one advisory position left with CloudBees, so really no need for this LLC anymore as I no longer take on advisory roles. https://runsignup.wordpress.com/2018/01/09/runsignup-converts-to-an-s-corporation/
