- Ship your first automation. An AI-powered workflow or reusable model connected to our systems that cuts manual effort in forecasting or reporting
- Have a point of view. GTM partners are coming to you with questions on spend, pipeline, and capacity, and you're translating the data into a clear "so what" and a recommendation
- One Year Outlook
- Drive the entire FP&A process for the GTM teams: headcount and operating expense management, monthly, quarterly and annual forecasts, scenario modeling, and regular business reviews
- Own the analytics and automation roadmap for your scope. The models and workflows you've built are how the team and GTM leaders see performance, and you've measurably reduced manual effort through AI
Our take
Docker supplies a hub and desktop solution to simplify the workflow of app development teams. Originally known for popularising the idea of containerising software, it saw itself outpaced by Kubernetes. However, the company has identified a problem with the growing complexity of containerisation, with some apps consisting of dozens or even hundreds of containers - which is what it now addresses.
Docker has had a difficult time in the past, with 2019 seeing it sell off its enterprise business, reduce its workforce by hundreds, and change its leadership team. As a well known brand and ecosystem for containerisation, however, it aims to lure developers back to its product as well as to take advantage of the growing global demand for app development.
Returning to focus on developers rather than large companies was certainly a gamble, but one that seems to have paid off. The company has returned to profitability and raised Series C funding in 2022, which has been used to hire new talent, ramping up its business, and continuing to develop and refine its product. On top of this bounce back to success, it's also embarked on a series of acquisitions to bolster its business.
