Companies that use DigitalOcean

I noticed that DigitalOcean's customers are incredibly diverse, spanning everything from software development agencies and IT consultancies to construction firms, food manufacturers, healthcare providers, and even newspapers. What unites them isn't their industry but their need for digital infrastructure. Many are building web applications, mobile apps, or managing online presences for themselves or their clients. Companies like Karo Studio and Skyward Agency explicitly mention building "mobile and web applications," while even traditional businesses like Hoopaugh Grading Company and PS Group Realty clearly maintain significant digital operations despite their core business being construction or real estate.

These are predominantly small to mid-sized organizations. The employee counts cluster heavily in the 11-50 and 51-200 ranges, with very few showing significant funding rounds. Most have no listed funding stage, suggesting they're bootstrapped or self-sustaining businesses rather than venture-backed startups chasing hypergrowth. They appear to be established operations, often with decades of history, that have matured past the startup phase but haven't scaled to enterprise size.
