“Pantheon is quickly becoming the go-to WebOps platform for forward-thinking web development teams and agile marketers who are seeking to deliver the world’s best web experiences on Drupal and WordPress,” said Sageview Capital cofounder and managing partner Ned Gilhuly.
For enterprise clients, Pantheon offers an extensible, SLA-backed product with a unified dashboard for role-based site portfolio management and support for security assertion markup language (SAML), and Upstreams, a workflow that packages custom code, themes, and open source components into a desired starter that can be used to quickly spin up a new site.

Set-it-and-forget-it is the name of Pantheon’s game, and toward that end, customers get automated updates and backups and site-monitoring tech that runs over a million checks a day for potential performance issues, plus fully managed HTTPS certificates and protection against distributed denial-of-service attacks. Populating those environments is a robust set of dev tools, among them an integrated Terminus command line, a local Docker-based environment, full-text search powered by Apache Solr, and automated Git-based workflow with feature branching. Pantheon has a nifty migration toolkit that makes it easier for developers to move existing websites to its platform, along with dedicated development and staging environments that mirror production sites’ configurations. According to Pantheon, most customers achieve “sub-second” page load times and 99.9 percent uptime thanks in part to it, and to a proprietary network-backed file system - Valhalla - and routing technology that dynamically scales across server clusters.
Pantheon builds Drupal and WordPress sites undergirded by a “lighting-fast” content delivery network (CDN) that’s powered by Fastly, an edge cloud platform that caches pages from more than 40 locations and 60 points of presence across the globe including Dubai, London, Sydney, Johannesburg, Boston, Seattle, and Buenos Aires. “Agile marketing has quickly become fundamental to many of the world’s largest companies and Pantheon is proud to be at the center of this historic shift … This investment will help us continue to expand our customer base and set the new market standard for WebOps.” To help them iterate faster, we’re laser-focused on managing uptime, security, scaling, performance, and on automating development workflows that often prevent web teams from focusing on innovation and creating value,” said Rosen. “Our customers have demonstrated that the ability to iterate faster leads to achieving their business results faster.

To lay the foundation for future growth, it’s raised $40 million in series D growth financing led by Sageview Capital, it today announced, with participation from existing investors Foundry Group, Scale Venture Partners, and Industry Ventures. Pantheon, which was founded in 2010 as a Drupal extension and which later expanded to WordPress, is one of the largest MHPs of its kind, with over 10,000 customers (including Google Cloud, SendGrid, Apigee, Tableau, Yale, Coach, the United Nations, Quicken Loans, MIT, Harvard Medicine, and IBM) and more than 50,000 developer sign-ups each year. One of the fastest-growing categories in the $70 billion industry, though, is marketing, and San Francisco-based Pantheon appears to have it on lock. WP Engine, for instance, offers a WordPress-backed solution tailor-made for bloggers and enterprises, while Flywheel and MediaTemple target designers. There’s no shortage of choices when it comes to managed hosting platforms (MHP), and some niches are more cutthroat than others.
