Cloud-based tools are pretty much everywhere except the factory floor. Tulip, founded by serial entrepreneur Natan Linder, just raised $100 million to change that.

Tulip cofounder and CEO Natan Linder: “We are disrupting this very ancient category, and for me this is a very personal thing.”Natan Linder, cofounder and chairman of 3-D printing unicorn Formlabs, founded Tulip seven years ago to give factory workers the same access to digital tools as office workers.

Tulip’s software is designed to increase the productivity of factory teams, similarly to what workflow software from Salesforce and Atlassian have done for sales and engineering. It offers manufacturers an app library, with some 100 templates that users can customize for their own needs. To date, its customers have created more than 20,000 apps, Linder says, in areas like production tracking and workflow.

“I’m at the point where I’m not doing this for incremental money. I am not going to have a bigger idea than this.” In 2014, Linder, who has a Ph.D. from MIT Media Lab’s Fluid Interfaces group, teamed up with Rony Kubat, who has a Ph.D. in computer science from MIT, towith the hopes of fixing what he saw as the problems in manufacturing. “We are disrupting this ancient category, and for me this is a very personal thing,” Linder says.
