StacksWare
Co-founder
Jan 2015 - Sep 2017
In 2015, I took Stanford's CS 210 (Software project with a corporate sponsor). Our team was partnered with VMware.
As part of the project, we discovered that many companies struggled with their VMware and other software licensing; they were either non-compliant and at risk of fines or underprovisioned and wasting licenses.
To solve these problems, we built StacksWare. StacksWare continuously inventoried and metered software applications across a company's enterprise environment, allowing IT to make software purchasing decisions informed by software usage trends.
In mid-2015, we raised $2M from Lightspeed and Greylock to turn StacksWare into a company.
StacksWare was acquired by Avi Networks in Sep 2017.
