Nitrous.IO was co-founded by Andrew Solimine (current CEO), Peter Jihoon Kim (current CTO) and Arun Thampi in July 2012. The company was previously named Action.IO.
Nitrous.IO's product was created in response to the problem of having to configure software for new employees. The company originally developed a cloud development platform which provides a centralized way for companies to manage the development environment that their employees are working on. Since the development environment and codes are stored in a cloud, employees and developers are able to access their work on multiple devices from anywhere they wish to work. However, they realized that not everyone wanted to store their work in the cloud, hence they launched desktop apps for Windows and Mac to allow developers to use their favorite editor and save their work on their localhost.
In 2013, Nitrous.IO raised $1 million in seed funding in a seed round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from notable companies and people, for instance, TIBCO Software, Eduardo Saverin, the co-founder of Facebook and Michael Arrington, the co-founder of CrunchFund. It also announced that Joe Stump from Sprint.ly and Tobias Lütke from Shopify had joined its advisory board.
In another funding round that was also led by Bessemer Venture Partners in 2014, Nitrous.IO received $6.65 million in funding, which the company intends to use to push Nitrous.IO for usage into the enterprise level. David Cowan, a partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, believes that "in coming years, Nitrous.IO will save billions of expensive manhours."
