The company has raised $316M in total funding from investors including DFJ, IVP, and Scale Venture Partners, positioning itself as a leader in the rapidly growing CI/CD automation market.
Cyborg Score Rationale
CircleCI's $1.7B valuation and $316M in total funding reflect strong investor confidence. The company has 358 employees as of April 2026 and estimated annual revenue of $25-100M with 500-1K employees. The market position is solid but lacks public trading liquidity and recent major funding announcements.
