This latest infusion of funds pushed the company’s valuation to USD 1.7 billion within just three years since inception, making it a member of the prestigious Unicorn Club, a term for start-ups that hit the $1 billion valuation mark.

Harness aims to provide developers with an easy self-service and smart automation solution that enables them to build, test, release and optimise the code they are working on without any difficulty.

Jyoti Bansal previously co-founded AppDynamics which was later acquired by Cisco in January for a USD 3.7 billion deal. The founder gained a lot of popularity from his earlier venture and aims to create a solid software delivery platform that allows developer teams to deploy software which is as good in software delivery as Facebook Inc, and Google, as mentioned in a report by YourStory.
