Puppet to be acquired

Rick Turoczy on April 11, 2022

I’ve had the opportunity and pleasure of covering Puppet since Reductive Labs relocated to Portland in 2009. It’s been among the most interesting journeys of a company in the Portland startup community. And it’s been great to be part of that journey of observation. And even collaboration, as PIE, the organization I run, had the opportunity to work with Puppet, 2019-2020. But as with many journeys, they come to an end. As this begins to, today. Puppet is on the path to being acquired by Perforce.

But what’s even better? When you get a single startup showcasing what they’re trying to do. And how they work. And what makes them special. Whether they hype Portland or not. That’s why I was really happy to see this new video from Portland’s Puppet Labs. Read More

In case you missed it: Puppet Labs raised an additional $40 million, this week

Rick Turoczy on June 20, 2014

You’ve probably already heard, but just in case you haven’t… Portland’s Puppet Labs has raised another $40 million in venture capital, increasing its total funding to $86 million. More important than the number, though—albeit impressive—is the fact that previous investors have participated in this round. A sign of their confidence in the company and its potential for growth.

Navigating the high Cs: Puppet Labs, Elemental, and Urban Airship have all recently secured senior CFO talent

Rick Turoczy on June 3, 2014

It’s always interesting to watch startups attract and secure senior talent. And when three of them secure CFOs in rapid succession, things are even more interesting. Which is exactly what’s happening around Portland these days where financial officers seem to be a hot commodity for startups. Read More
