History

Nubera was founded in 2010 in Barcelona, Spain by Christophe Primault (a marketing professional) and Manuel Jaffrin (a computer engineer).[3] Nubera published an app review website called GetApp,[1] focussing on apps for business usage.[3][6] The company was initially funded by Christophe and Manual,[7] and then received a $1.1M investment in 2011 from Nauta Capital, a Spanish-American investment firm.[8]

In October 2012, Nubera acquired Tarpipe, a company that specialized in integrating cloud apps.[9] In 2013, Nubera launched a business listing for mobile section for iOS and Android devices.[10][11] According to TechCrunch, "by 2013, the app listed 5,000+ apps from 20,000 vendors including Basecamp, Salesforce, Dropbox and Zoho, among many others".[12] The company launched a number of other apps and searching tools such as GetApp Lab, AppStorm, AppAppeal and Cloudwork (a cloud apps integration platform)[13] that were integrated in its online marketplace.[5]

On July 1, 2015, Nubera (GetApp) was acquired by the IT advisory company Gartner.[14] The sale price is undisclosed and Nubera became a subsidiary of Gartner as a result.[2][15]
