New Relic is a software analytics company based in San Francisco, California. Lew Cirne[1] founded New Relic in 2008 and currently acts as the company's CEO.[2] New Relic's technology, delivered in a software as a service (SaaS) model,[3] monitors Web and mobile applications in real-time[4] that run in cloud, on-premise, or hybrid environments.[5][6][7]

In February 2013, New Relic raised $80 million from investors including Insight Venture Partners, T. Rowe Price, Benchmark Capital, Allen & Company, Trinity Ventures, Passport Capital, Dragoneer, and Tenaya Capital at a valuation of $750 million.[8][9] The funding round helped New Relic extend its software analytics platform to include Android and iOS native mobile apps.[6][8] Board members are Peter Fenton of Benchmark, Dan Scholnick of Trinity Ventures, Peter Currie of Currie Capital, and Lew Cirne.[10] Cirne has told the media that New Relic is preparing for an initial public offering.[8][9]

New Relic launched an open SaaS platform in June 2013.[6] The platform is designed to allow developers to deploy 50+ plug-ins from technology partners (or build their own) to the New Relic dashboard.[11] Plug-in technologies include PaaS/cloud services, caching, database, Web servers and queuing.

The New Relic service has 70 partnerships around the world. They include Amazon Web Services, CloudBees, Engine Yard, Heroku, Joyent, Rackspace Hosting, and Windows Azure Services as well as mobile application backend service providers Appcelerator, Parse, and StackMob.[7][12][13][14]
