ZeroTurnaround is a software company founded by Jevgeni Kabanov and Toomas Römer in 2008.[3][4]

History

Founders Jevgeni Kabanov and Toomas Römer met at IT services provider Webmedia (now known as Nortal) in Tartu, Estonia and began to work together on the project in 2006/7. It was spun out as ZeroTurnaround and funded by Webmedia in 2008/9. The project yielded not only this commercial enterprise, but was also the center of Kabanov's Ph.D. thesis under his advisor Jaak Vilo, Head of the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Tartu. His thesis title was Towards a more productive Java EE ecosystem. As of 2014, and according to Kabanov, the product is in use at 3,500 organizations in 80 countries.[4][5][6]

Products

ZeroTurnaround develops and sells JRebel, a Java integrated development environment plugin that eliminates the build and redeploy phases of the Java EE development cycle. The company refers to this technology as "hotpatching" or sometimes "dynamic app reloading." It also developed LiveRebel, a rollout/rollback tool for live applications.[3][7] The technology was based on a proprietary code versioning facility.[8] Product was discontinued in 2014.[9]

Funding

The company received seed funding of $0.38M in 2008/9 from Webmedia,[4][10] and a Series A round in 2011 followed by further investment of $2.7M in January 2014, both led by Bain Capital Ventures.[11][12][13][14] It borrowed a further $3M in March 2014 from Western Technology Investment.[15][16]

Acquisitions

On March 19, 2013 ZeroTurnaround announced they acquired Javeleon, a software company spun out of the Maersk McKinney Moeller Institute at the University of Southern Denmark. Javeleon makes productivity tools for Java developers.[17][18][19]

Community

The company hosts RebelLabs, an area of their website with white papers and other resources for the developer community[20] and virtual Java Users Group (vJUG).[21]
