Our take
Service meshes are a critical piece of infrastructure for a lot of companies that aim to be cloud-native, with hundreds or more microservices, businesses need a way to track what’s running in their networks. Solo.io provides connectivity between microservices in the cloud through its API gateways and service mesh.
The unicorn company hit its $1B valuation in 2021 and was one of the only to be led by a woman. The company’s growth is due in part to the growing number of companies re-architecting their applications to microservices and Kubernetes, gaining new customers, and its 100% business renewal rate and account expansion from existing customers.
Solo.io counts some of the world’s biggest data centres and Cloud services as customers, including T-Mobile, Pega, BMW, American Express and Booking.com. The company has used its Altimeter Capital-led Series C funding round to expand its offerings, developing new products and adaptable technology.
