Multiplayer, a New York-based developer tool focused on enhancing distributed software development, raised $3 million in funding.
The round was led by Bowery Capital, with participation from Okapi Venture Capital, Mitch Wainer (cofounder of DigitalOcean), and Edith Harbaugh (founder of LaunchDarkly).
Multiplayer aims to provide a collaborative and visual tool specifically designed for managing complex and multi-layered system architectures that support a company's operations.
“We raised $3 million in funding during a really tough market and so we’re pretty proud of that,” said CEO Steph Johnson, in an interview with VentureBeat. “My background is at MongoDB and Digital Ocean and a lot of developer tools. I spent time watching developers communicate and collaborate. I saw the trouble they have communicating when it comes to distributed software and working on that together. So after promoting a lot of other people’s great ideas, I decided it was time to promote one of my own, and thus teamed up with Tom to start Multiplayer.”
Multiplayer offers a purpose-built software solution that enables teams to visualize their system architecture comprehensively and in granular detail. Multiplayer is planning to launch a public beta version of its platform in the fall.
