How we got here
We started with a simple belief: developers deserve better tools. That belief has taken us from a small open source project to the backbone of the AI software revolution.
2007
Simon Brandhof starts developing the Sonar platform by integrating the best open source tools for Java. Enthused by the vision, Olivier Gaudin joins the team in Sept 2007.
2008
The three combine their passion to accelerate the development of the Open Source Sonar platform. SonarSource is born in Nov 2008 with an initial effort to make the platform enterprise-ready.
2009
Built on the Open Sonar platform, SonarSource starts to develop its commercial offering with its first commercial plugin 'Views' for project portfolio management and gets recognized at Open World Forum.
2010
Sonar platform is accepted by the community and enterprise with over 2K downloads per month. The company grows and accelerates its pace of R&D with more released plugins.
2013
Commercial editions are offered under the SonarQube Server brand and new Editions are introduced based on customer feedback and the needs of larger enterprises.
2015
SonarSource decides to expand the scope of its languages and analyzers to cover well-known standards that encompass maintainability, reliability, and security.
2016
SonarSource raises $45M USD investment from Insight Venture Partners to further accelerate growth. Richard Wells, MD, and Matt Gatto, VP at Insight Partners join the company's Board of Directors.
2018
The first SaaS platform, SonarQube Cloud, is launched based on market needs and user demands. The SaaS solution is totally free for Open Source projects, paid for private projects.
2019
A new dawn arises—SonarSource enters the SAST market and launches its Static Application Security Testing (SAST) capabilities and a new user experience.
2020
RIPS Technologies, a German startup known for its security analyzers, becomes part of the SonarSource family. Teams join forces to disrupt the Code Security market with developer-first SAST products.
2022
Sonar raises $412 million from new and existing investors, at a valuation of $4.7 billion. The company will use the investment to grow its go-to-market team globally as the company drives toward $1 billion in revenue.

Today, Sonar's industry-leading solution is trusted by more than 400,000 organizations and 21,000 enterprise customers globally and is considered integral to delivering better software.
