IncrediBuild

IncrediBuild, founded in 2002 by Uri Mishol and Eyal Efrat, provides a suite of software development acceleration tools designed to shorten the time required for various development processes. The company's technology, known as Virtualized Distributed Processing™, distributes tasks across idle CPUs in a local network or the cloud, effectively creating a supercomputer from existing hardware. This approach significantly reduces compilation, testing, and other time-consuming workloads for developers. The platform caters to a wide range of industries, including finance, gaming, and automotive, with clients such as Microsoft, Samsung, Amazon, and Epic Games. By integrating with build systems, continuous integration pipelines, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, IncrediBuild streamlines the entire development lifecycle. Its core product functions by parallelizing processes, which can cut down build times and other computational tasks by a substantial margin, often cited as being up to 8x faster for compilations and 30% faster for overall development cycles. The business model operates on a subscription basis, offering licenses that allow companies to leverage their existing computing power more efficiently. In 2021, global software investor Insight Partners acquired the company for $140 million, a significant milestone that followed a 2018 investment from Fortissimo Capital. This acquisition underscores the company's established position in the DevOps market. The company is headquartered in Tel Aviv, with a global presence that includes offices in the US, Japan, UK, and China, serving a large customer base worldwide.
