Accounting for employee stock options and restricted stock units, the company has a fully diluted value of $16 billion.The IPO will place it among the most richly valued open source tech companies.

Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, BofA Securities, and Citi are the joint bookrunners on the deal.
Business Overview
HashiCorp, founded in 2012,is anopen-source software companyproviding cloud infrastructure and data center management solutions.
The management is headed by Chairman and CEO David McJannet, who has been with the firm since July 2016 and was previously VP Marketing at GitHub.
HashiCorp states that its cloud operating model provides consistent workflows and a standardized approach to automating the critical processes involved in delivering applications in the cloud, including infrastructure provisioning, security, networking, and application deployment.
The company has built its products using an open-core software development model, and all of its products are developed as open-source projects.
HashiCorp is a leading provider of multi-cloud infrastructure automation. The company helps developers manage their cloud infrastructure across major public clouds, including Amazon, Microsoft and Google.
HashiCorp works with SaaS vendors, enterprise software companies, cloud service providers, game developers, mobile app developers and IT support organizations.
HashiCorp sees the market as a massive opportunity. Armon Dadgar, co-founder and CTO of HashiCorp, said that It took these big enterprises five years just to be comfortable with the idea of public clouds. But most of them don’t have enough operational staff with the experience to run these services at scale. Even if they did, those people are best spent focusing on other business value rather than operating infrastructure.
The Covid-19 pandemic did little to set back HashiCorp, which considers itself “remote-first,” with a globally distributed workforce of 1,500 people.
Like GitLab, a remote company that went public in October and is now valued at about $12 billion, HashiCorp was able to power through the shutdowns because its systems were already in place to operate without people in offices.
