About

Founded in 2012 by AJ Solimine and Peter Cho, Nitrous.io provided a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) that eliminated local setup complexity by letting developers create and share pre-configured coding environments accessible from any browser. The platform supported Ruby, Node.js, Python, and Go, and was used by over 100,000 developers across education, teams, and enterprises — saving users an estimated 500,000 hours of setup time. Nitrous.io raised $7.65 million total, including a $6.65 million Series A in 2014 led by Bessemer Venture Partners with backing from Eduardo Saverin, 500 Startups, and Golden Gate Ventures. The company shut down in November 2016 due to competition from cloud infrastructure giants.
