Render
Render is an IaaS & Developer Cloud company founded in 2018 and based in San Francisco, United States. It has raised $258M in total funding, most recently a Series C extension in 2026 at a $1.5B valuation.
Founded in 2018 by former early Stripe engineer Anurag Goel, Render is a unified cloud application platform that lets developers deploy web services, static sites, background workers, cron jobs, and managed PostgreSQL and Redis directly from a Git repository without managing servers. It positions itself as a simpler, higher-level alternative to AWS and a successor to Heroku, automating DevOps best practices so small teams can ship without dedicated infrastructure staff. Render raised an $80 million Series C led by Georgian in January 2025, followed by a $100 million Series C extension in February 2026 at a $1.5 billion valuation — again led by Georgian — bringing total funding to roughly $258 million as it repositions around AI-native applications and agents.
A leading modern Heroku successor, making full-stack deployment a Git push and absorbing developers leaving legacy PaaS platforms.
