About Cloudsmith Cloudsmith is building the operating system for the modern software supply chain.

We run a global, fully managed, multi-tenant SaaS platform that helps organizations manage, secure, govern, and distribute software artifacts  customers use Cloudsmith as critical infrastructure for CI/CD, developer workflows, security controls, compliance, and software distribution. We proxy and cache public open-source indexes, scan artifacts for vulnerabilities, licensing issues, and malware, and let organizations enforce policy as a dependency firewall. We support 30+ formats across languages, containers, and operating systems.

We recently raised our Series C to accelerate Cloudsmith 2.0: deeper artifact intelligence, stronger policy and provenance, faster package-aware delivery, and infrastructure built for engineering teams, as well as the modern AI-driven software factory.

By developers, for developers. We care about craft, openness, and transparency.
