History

Instaclustr was founded in Canberra in 2013, initially bootstrapped by co-founders Peter Lilley and Doug Stuart following the exit of their prior company, Stratsec, to BAE Systems in 2011.

The company is headquartered in Canberra with US regional headquarters situated in Redwood City, California. The CEO, Peter Nichol, and co-founders, Ben Bromhead and Adam Zegelin, are based in California.

In August 2018, Instaclustr completed a $15.7USD capital raise led by US based growth equity fund, Level Equity. The equity value of Instaclustr implied by the Level Equity transaction lifted Bailador's carrying value to a price 224% higher than Bailador's investment less than two years earlier.
