Section: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)
Section is an Edge Compute Platform that enables engineers to run any workload, anywhere, underpinned by modern DevOps principles. It now has offices in both Sydney, Australia, and Boulder, Colorado, and is backed by major Venture Capital groups including Foundry Group and Techstars Ventures. The Section team is comprised of dedicated individuals who come from diverse backgrounds in engineering, agile development, marketing, sales, and product. Section's industry-leading edge compute platform gives engineers the flexibility and control to run any workload, anywhere, underpinned by modern DevOps principles. With its container-based (Docker/Kubernetes) approach to HTTP traffic delivery, the platform includes an extensive library of highly available and highly performant edge compute modules that can be deployed anywhere along the edge continuum, including the ability to build/bring your own edge containers. Section operates across the HTTP delivery path from origin to distributed network, is hosting provider-agnostic (cloud, on-premise, self-hosted), and has already been proven to address challenges far beyond traditional CDN workloads. Section was founded in Australia in 2012 and moved its headquarters to the US in 2016.
Section has raised $12.0M across 1 funding round on record, the most recent a Series B of $12.0M announced in Apr 2021.

About FundedIQ's Section Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Section is left off this page rather than filled in.
