鈥淐I/CD was once a cutting-edge development idea reserved for savvy technology companies, but now we鈥檙e seeing that expand to all companies,鈥� said IVP鈥檚 Wilhelm in a statement. 鈥淐ircleCI is an especially attractive investment given the depth and complexity of the product and the underlying dataset they have observed over time on how great companies build and release software.

CircleCI has also been connected to Wilhelm of IVP for some time, as Wilhelm was previously at Scale Venture Partners, which led CircleCI鈥檚 Series B round in 2016.

CircleCI last raised money with its $56 million Series D in July 2019, which was led by NextEquity Partners and Owl Rock Capital Partners, according to 红桃视频 data.
