CDN77 (operated by DataCamp Limited) is a global Content Delivery Network (CDN) and edge infrastructure provider focused on high‑performance delivery of web assets and, especially, video (live and VOD). The company emphasizes client-centric engineering, customization, and transparent pricing. As of 2024, CDN77 reports $175M annual revenue, claims top‑5 CDN by revenue, and runs a 270 Tbps network with a global private backbone, 200+ PoPs across 130+ countries, and 3,000+ direct ISP connections. Publicly listed office locations are London (UK) and Prague (CZ).
CDN77’s customer references include STARZ, Rakuten TV, and Udemy, highlighting its specialization in media streaming and education at scale.
CDN77 was founded in 2011 by Zdeněk Cendra and has operated profitably for over a decade. The company positions itself as financially stable with double‑digit growth and long‑term customer partnerships driven by performance, customization, and direct access to engineers. Headquarters and corporate registration are in London, with an engineering presence in Prague; broader public profiles also reflect this dual‑location footprint.
Growth has centered on expanding global capacity (to 270 Tbps) and coverage (to 200+ PoPs), embedding cache servers within ISPs, and strengthening a private backbone (100/400GE) to improve last‑mile and hard‑to‑reach region performance.
CDN77 is privately held and does not publicly disclose venture funding rounds. Its materials emphasize profitability and organic growth rather than external capital, and there is no official valuation published by the company. Public profiles and pricing pages corroborate the private status and focus on sustainable growth; revenue data ($175M in 2024) is stated directly by CDN77, but independent valuation figures are not available in public filings. CB Insights lists the company with a London headquarters but does not present verified funding totals or valuation in the accessible summary.
CDN77’s stack spans Delivery, Media, Compute, and Observability:

There are no publicly announced acquisitions by CDN77 in accessible sources. Product expansion has been organic, focusing on edge computing, observability (beta), and Private AI Infrastructure to broaden from pure CDN into a developer‑first edge cloud with compute and analytics tied to delivery. Their Edge Computing initiative (built atop NGINX/OpenResty + Lua) aims to let customers transform requests securely and dynamically on the fly—reflecting deeper programmability at the edge rather than inorganic expansion via M&A.
