History

Cloudinary was founded in 2011 in Israel [2] by Itai Lahan (CEO), Tal Lev-Ami (CTO), and Nadav Soferman (CPO). [3] Cloudinary grew organically, building a profitable SaaS service, without venture capital funding. [4] In 2015, the company received a strategic investment from Bessemer Venture Partners (BVP), [5] which was BVP's 100th investment in cloud companies. [6]

In 2014, Cloudinary announced fully integrated image processing add-ons leveraging technologies by Imagga, URL2PNG, Aspose, WebPurify and others. [7] In 2015, Cloudinary opened its U.S. headquarters in Palo Alto, California, and added video management to its services. [8] In 2019, the company moved to Santa Clara, California, and launched tools for responsive image breakpoint generation. [9]
