Founders Armon Dadgar and Mitchell Hashimoto

HashiCorp was founded in 2012 by two classmates from the University of Washington, Mitchell Hashimoto and Armon Dadgar.[9] Co-founder Hashimoto was previously working on open-source software called Vagrant, which became incorporated into HashiCorp.[10]

On 29 November 2021, HashiCorp set terms for its IPO at 15.3 million shares at $68-$72 at a valuation of $13 billion.[11] It offered 15.3 million shares.[12] HashiCorp considers its workers to be remote workers first rather than coming into an office on a full-time basis.[13]

Around April 2021, a supply chain attack using code auditing tool codecov allowed hackers limited access to HashiCorp's customers networks.[14] As a result, private credentials were leaked. HashiCorp revoked a private signing key and asked its customers to use a new rotated key.

Mitchell Hashimoto resigned from the company in December 2023.[15]

Acquisition by IBM

On April 24, 2024, the company announced it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by IBM for $6.4 billion, with the transaction expected to close by the end of the same year.[16] This led to the Competition and Markets Authority of the United Kingdom launching an investigation into the acquisition in late 2024.[17][18] The deal closed on February 27, 2025 for $6.4 billion after receiving the necessary regulatory approvals.[19][20]
