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.
