Greylock’s Jerry Chen does first deal as VC : Leads $15M Series B in Docker

JOHN FURRIER | JANUARY 22ND

I bet Jerry Chen is wearing his “docker” pants today to celebrate his first investment as a venture capitalist. Docker, formerly known as dotCloud, announced today $15 million in Series B cash to build a business around its cloud open source technology, for a total of $26 million since 2011.

Is Docker the next VMware? Jerry Chen thinks so. Jerry, who we’ve interviewed on theCUBE many times, was the cloud czar at VMware, so catching his eye is something notable. Can Docker lead the Linux container trend in cloud?

The round was led by Greylock Partners, and Jerry Chen ( @theCUBE alumni) with participation by Insight Venture Partners and our existing investors: Benchmark (Peter Fenton), Trinity Ventures (Dan Scholnick), and Jerry Yang/AME Cloud Ventures. Jerry Chen joins the board of directors representing @GreylockVC.


Here is my interview with #techathlete Jerry Chen at #AWSReinvent just a few months ago, talking about which player will be the AWS for the enterprise.
