Otta's take

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

ControlUp makes it easier for enterprises to manage and ensure a good user experience for a distributed workforce. It does this by allowing IT teams to monitor and troubleshoot the performance of all computer devices on its network, whether they’re in-house or remote.

Though ControlUp has been in development under a number of guises since around 2008, the company has had an incredible trajectory of late and is now well on its way to unicorn status. Sanofi, T-Mobile, Verizon, Virgin Money, Exxon Mobil and Next are all known high profile customers.

Unsurprisingly, this growth has coincided almost perfectly with the shift to work-from-anywhere and hybrid working models. Since these are showing no signs of disappearing, ControlUp will be targeting further growth over the next few years.
