Nuon Inc. announced it has secured $16.5 million in funding and is providing an early access release of its Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) platform.
"In today’s enterprise software landscape, every company must answer the inevitable customer question: ‘Can this run in our cloud account?’” said Nuon founder and CEO Jon Morehouse. “Nuon enables any company to offer the BYOC deployment model in minutes, unlocking new customers, meeting data sovereignty requirements, and more deeply integrating with customer data and LLMs.”
The $16.5 million in funding is from venture capital firms, M12 (James Wu), Uncork Capital (Andy McLoughlin), Redpoint Ventures (Pat Chase), Alumni Ventures (Meera Oak), Essence VC (Timothy Chen), Mantis VC (Alex Pall), Red Swan Ventures (Sandy Cass) and angel investors Quinn Slack (CEO of SourceGraph), Richie Artoul (co-founder of WarpStream, acquired by Confluent) and Michael Grinich (CEO of WorkOS). This capital will fuel product development, prepare for general availability in early 2025, and drive customer acquisition.
Nuon is currently powering a few dozen AI and data infrastructure companies already using the platform to deliver BYOC solutions. The company plans to launch general availability by late Q1 2025.
Nuon enables software companies to deliver SaaS-like experiences directly in customers' cloud accounts—combining the compliance and security of self-hosted solutions with the ease of vendor-hosted software.
By meeting demands for data sovereignty, security and compliance, Nuon allows SaaS providers to expand into new customer segments, enhance product capabilities while generating additional revenue streams, the company said.
Nuon enables software to move to the customer’s cloud environment instead of requiring data to move to the developer’s infrastructure. This approach blends the ease of SaaS with the control, compliance, and security enterprises demand.
According to the company, Nuon’s mission is to make the Bring Your Own Cloud model accessible to software companies everywhere. This shift has the potential to transform software delivery, reshaping development, operations, data handling, and infrastructure. The rise of AI further accelerates the need for this model, making it a pivotal moment for the software industry, the company said.
