Meet the Founders
Copado’s founders didn’t set out to change the world — they just wanted to see their families more often. In 2013, two release engineers (Federico Larsen and Philipp Rackwitz) built the first end-to-end native DevOps platform for Salesforce to combat all the late nights, weekend war rooms and overworked teams. And the rest is history.
Today, Copado is powered by 700+ employees across 15+ countries and four continents. We accelerate digital transformation for the most powerful brands on the planet. And we’ve never lost sight of our founders’ vision: To make release days obsolete.
