Layer Devops Inc was founded in 2019 with a simple premise: Build a DevOps platform that's as simple to use as Docker. Lyn and Colin had both seen first-hand how technology was eating the world, and knew that the future of DevOps was Docker, CI/CD, and full-stack preview environments. In 2020, Layer raised a pre-seed round from Y Combinator, and followed that up with over a million dollars in investment from Silicon Valley firms such as Y Combinator, Funders Club, and Soma Capital.
