I want to emphasize that while we’ll be doing “more” for you, today’s events don’t mean that we’re “different” on any fundamental level. My short answer is: It means more of the good things you’ve come to expect from us at Backblaze. (Is that you? We’re hiring!) And Most Importantly, What Does It Mean for You? With these proceeds, we plan to continue to significantly grow our team, and are looking for many more kind, smart, talented people to join us. Today, we take the next big step in being the leading independent cloud for data storage.Īdditionally, while we help about 500,000 customers already, we plan to expand our sales and marketing efforts to bring Backblaze to more businesses, developers, and individuals that would benefit from easy and affordable data storage that they can trust.įinally, we have built Backblaze with not only a focus on the products we provide, but with a deep care for what it is like to work here. The future is being built on independent cloud platforms, and ours has been 14 years in the making. It means we have more resources with IPO proceeds to increase investment in the development of our Storage Cloud platform and the B2 Cloud Storage and Computer Backup services that run on it. What Does Becoming a Public Company Mean for Backblaze? We really appreciate you working with us and supporting us. Whether you have believed in us from the beginning and have been a customer for over a decade, or joined us yesterday whether you entrust us to back up a single computer or to run your entire company’s infrastructure on the Backblaze Storage Cloud whether you’ve partnered with us to bring our services to one individual or thousands of companies, whether you’re a first-time visitor to our site or you’ve been a reader all along: Thank you. Going public is an important milestone and one we couldn’t have accomplished without your support. Today is a big day for Backblaze-we became a public company listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BLZE!īefore I explain what this means for us and for you, I want to give my thanks.
