History

Virtustream was founded in 2009 by Rodney Rogers and Kevin Reid, who had previously founded Adjoined Consulting (which was acquired by Kanbay, and in turn, Capgemini).

The company raised approximately $40 million in series A funding from Columbia Capital, Blue Lagoon Capital, Intel Capital, Noro-Moseley Partners and TDF between September 2009 and May 2010, and $15 million in series B funding in July 2011 from Intel Capital, Columbia Capital, Noro-Moseley Partners, QuestMark Capital and TDF.[9][10]
