Event
AI Unleashed
An exclusive invite-only evening of insights and networking, designed for senior enterprise executives overseeing data stacks and strategies.
It primarily focuses on websites with high traffic needs and clients include large organizations across multiple industries, like eCommerce, SaaS and healthcare. Clients include HomeAway, Duke University, Fossil, ArcSight by HP, Farmers Insurance, and the Clinton Foundation. Startups and small businesses can use the platform as well.
FireHost has almost doubled in size from year to year, and this funding will go towards developing the infrastructure, expanding the product line, and entering new global markets.
Last year, FireHost took $10 million in a Series B investment to infiltrate Europe and open additional data center facilities. This most recent investment came entirely from previous investors The Stephens Group, LLC, and angel investors that have stuck with FireHost from its beginning in 2009.
FireHost is based in Dallas, Texas, with offices in Phoenix, London, and Amsterdam.
