Tidelift, a Boston, MA-based open source software startup, secured $15m in Series A funding.
The round was led by General Catalyst, Foundry Group and former Red Hat Chairman and CEO Matthew Szulik. In conjunction with the funding, Larry Bohn, managing director at General Catalyst, Ryan McIntyre, co-founder and managing director at Foundry Group and Szulik have all joined Tidelift’s board of directors.
