History
GitLab was created in 2011 by Ukrainian programmer Dmitriy Zaporozhets as a side project written in Ruby on Rails. Sytse Sijbrandij wanted to sell it as a service, which Zaporozhets agreed to. So the GitLab B.V. was founded in Utrecht in the Netherlands. Later Zaporozhets quit his job and started as CTO at GitLab.[4]
In 2015 GitLab became Member in the Y Combinator and collected US$1.5 million of seed funding.[5] In September, Khosla Ventures invested an additional $4 million into the company.[citation needed]
In September 2016 August Capital, Y Combinator and Khosla Ventures collected $20 million.[6]
GNOME has also been using GitLab since May 2018. KDE also completed its move to a self-hosted GitLab repository in mid-2020.
