SAN FRANCISCO – January 12, 2021 – H.I.G. Growth Partners (“H.I.G.”) is pleased to announce that one of its affiliates has invested in the Series E growth financing for JumpCloud, Inc. (“JumpCloud” or the “Company”), a leading cloud-based directory management platform.
Founded in 2012 and based in Denver, CO, JumpCloud empowers IT teams to manage employee directory, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, identity access management (IAM), and device management (DM) all in a single platform.

The Series E financing will be used to expand product development, marketing, and sales globally. As part of its move to support growing demand, JumpCloud also announced the addition of Kevin Biggs as Chief Revenue Officer to the executive leadership team.
“2020 lock-downs forced organizations to modernize legacy approaches to IT infrastructure, and has driven demand for JumpCloud’s directory platform,” said Rajat Bhargava, CEO and co-founder of JumpCloud. “As global interest in our platform grows, we continue to add experienced talent. Kevin Biggs is a phenomenal leader with a successful track record from IBM and OneLogin, and he will continue to drive our high-growth sales organization.”
