A Cause for Celebration: Reaching $100 M in ARR and Welcoming Our First President

Heading into the new year, I had the opportunity to reflect on the journey Sonatype has been on for over a decade, and how the industry has changed since we first invented componentized software development and then software supply chain management. 

Notably, over the past year, the market recognized the importance of software supply chain management — and saw the need to solve the really hard problem of how engineering teams can balance speed, quality, intelligence, and security at scale. This is exactly what Sonatype has focused on since its founding. 

While things are changing, and often for the better, what hasn’t changed is our dedication to the community and our customers.

I’m excited to share that our dedication to this cause has enabled us to surpass $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). One of many milestones we’re incredibly proud of reaching in 2021. Others include: 

• Having the  largest new business quarter ever in Q4 2021

• Adding 200+ new team members, with 250+ more expected in 2022 

• Expanding with 350+ new logos welcomed in 2021

• The successful acquisition of MuseDev 
• Expanded developer-first features and its full-spectrum Software Supply Chain management platform 

• 40,000+ packages flagged as suspicious or malicious by Nexus Intelligence 

• 11 billion artifacts analyzed in Nexus Lifecycle
• 1.7 billion vulnerabilities identified in Nexus Lifecycle
• 143 billion proxy artifacts scanned in Nexus Repository Manager

Throughout my career, I’ve been lucky enough to celebrate a myriad of different milestones. But, being able to share all of this with you is special. We know we wouldn’t be here today without (Read more...)
