New Enterprise Associates, a global venture capital firm, led a $27m Series A funding round in flox, a developer of an artificial intelligence platform, with participation from Addition, Hetz Ventures, Thomas Dohmke, Guy Podjarny and James Turnbull. "Building and deploying software in a reproducible, secure manner is perhaps the biggest challenge facing developers today. Flox recognizes the innovations within Nix to solve this challenge yet those challenges come with the cost of a steep learning curve. By creating an easy-to-use platform around Nix, flox supercharges productivity for developers everywhere while also making their software more secure," Aaron Jacobson, NEA Partner.
