About

Hudu is a cloud-based IT documentation platform designed for managed service providers (MSPs) and IT departments — providing a centralized knowledge base for storing, organizing, and accessing network documentation, credentials, asset inventories, process runbooks, and client IT environment details that IT teams need to efficiently manage and support their infrastructure. Founded in 2019 in Fort Collins, Colorado and a Y Combinator W21 graduate, Hudu raised $5.12 million total from YC and other investors, growing revenue from $1.5 million to $3.5 million in 2024 with 23 employees.\n\nHudu's platform serves as the "brain" of an MSP or IT department — storing information about every piece of infrastructure (network devices, servers, workstations, software licenses), associated credentials (securely vaulted passwords and API keys), documentation for troubleshooting procedures, and client-specific network configurations. When a technician needs to service a client network, everything they need — topology diagrams, credential access, recent change history — is accessible in Hudu without hunting through shared drives and tribal knowledge. The platform integrates with PSA tools (ConnectWise, HaloPSA) and RMM platforms (N-central, Datto) used by MSPs.\n\nIn 2025, Hudu competes in the IT documentation market with ITGlue (Kaseya, the dominant MSP documentation platform), Passportal (SolarWinds), and Network Glue for MSP knowledge management. ITGlue has historically been the default choice but has faced criticism for pricing increases since its Kaseya acquisition — creating an opening for Hudu to capture MSPs looking for a more affordable alternative with comparable functionality. The MSP market is large and growing as SMB demand for outsourced IT management increases. Hudu's 133% revenue growth from 2023 to 2024 demonstrates strong competitive momentum. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing the MSP customer base by positioning as the cost-effective ITGlue alternative, deepening PSA and RMM integrations, and adding AI-powered documentation assistance.

About

Dusty Robotics is a Mountain View, California-based construction robotics company — backed with $69.5 million in total funding from Root Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, Canaan Partners, GRIDS Capital, and Cantos — providing general contractors and construction teams with the FieldPrint Platform: a BIM-to-field robotic layout solution that uses the FieldPrinter robot to print precise floor markings from digital building models, replacing the manual chalk-line and tape-measure layout process that construction crews use to mark where walls, electrical, plumbing, and structural elements will be built. The FieldPrinter 2 (launched January 2024) lays out 10,000-15,000 square feet per day with one operator at 1/16 inch accuracy — approximately 10x faster than manual layout methods — and has printed over 100 million square feet across thousands of projects for customers including DPR, Turner, and Skanska. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024 in the robotics category. Founded in 2018.
