Who We Are:

Neverware’s flagship product, CloudReady, reimagines the desktop operating system by prioritizing security, manageability, and of course, performance—whether your computer is brand new or 10 years old. With CloudReady, schools and enterprise organizations alike can maximize their IT investments by transforming their existing fleets of PCs and Macs into simple, secure, and fast machines that provide the same user experience and management as Chromebooks. As covered by media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, CNN, CNET, LifeHacker and TechTarget, CloudReady is disrupting the way organizations think about hardware refreshes while enabling affordable, secure access to modern technology. A VC-backed organization, Neverware’s investors include Google, Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, and Rethink Education. Our partners include Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Samsung, and more.
