Upbound is a platform for building internal developer platforms using control planes. It offers a new methodology for building an internal developer platform, purpose-built for your organization. Customers can build, deploy, manage, secure, and use their platforms all from a single point of control.

Upbound is democratizing the best-kept secret in cloud computing - the control plane. By leveraging custom APIs, cloud engineers are no longer hindered by configuration drift, multiplying workspaces, and frustrated developers. With Upbound, platform engineers get centralized control, governance, and stability, and developers get the freedom of self-service.

Upbound is the creator and maintainer of the popular CNCF open-source project Crossplane, a framework for building cloud-native control planes. The company is a Series B startup and has raised $69M in total funding. Upbound’s backers include GV (formerly Google Ventures), Altimeter Capital and Intel Capital.
