Island - The Future of Work

It’s 2025, and each year more knowledge work shifts to the browser — Figma, Google Docs, Airtable, LinkedIn – so why is the experience still stuck in 2010? Logging into 15+ apps, jumping through SSO hoops, toggling VPNs and juggling passwords just to access a custom internal tool. Island is flipping that script. Island transforms the browser into a sleek, secure, and centralized workspace—finally aligning the experience with the way modern teams actually work.

Island’s Enterprise Browser embeds advanced security, IT, and network controls directly into the browsing experience. Enterprises are using Island across their entire organizations, from frontline workers to corporate headquarters. Knowledge workers love using Island because of its simplicity, performance, and productivity enhancements. Meanwhile, we’ve spoken to many IT teams who love how much easier Island makes it to onboard new employees and contractors, quickly provision new apps, and easily provide access to custom apps without relying on VDI.

“The Island browser has really helped with the productivity in our stores. Everyone loves it. I'd absolutely say it's a game changer...We ended up deploying to basically the entire organization within a two-week period, so 2400 stores. It went flawlessly.” - Mattress Firm Customer Testimonial

At Coatue, we talk a lot about big ideas. Island is the definition of a big idea - it eats into multiple security and IT budget lines - Zero Trust, VPN, VDI, Data Loss Prevention, Network, the list goes on. 

“With the Island browser, I've now got zero trust access, remote VPN connectivity, remote command line connectivity, and remote desktop connectivity all via the browser without deploying anything else. It's easy for me to tell my CFO the areas we're not spending money now. We've reduced that cost, and we've added all this productivity without the additional overhead of training.” - Hendrick Motorsports Case Study

When speaking to customers, it’s become increasingly clear that Island is emerging as a mission critical platform for work:

“Island has become an enterprise standard. If you don’t have it, given increases in cybersecurity attacks, you’re at a huge risk – so it is mission critical.” - F500 Insurance Co.

“The risk of data leak via web browsers and web apps have been increasing due to generative AI becoming more widely used by hackers … [Island] enhances security, compliance, and endpoint protection for enterprise infrastructure.” - 4K+ FTE Manufacturing Co.

In April 2024, we led Island's $175 million Series D funding round. We are excited to announce we are leading Island’s Series E, valuing Island at $4.8 billion. We are excited to double down with co-founders Mike Fey and Dan Amiga, along with the entire Island team, as they seek to redefine the enterprise browsing experience, fundamentally transforming how we work.

"The Enterprise Browser holds the power to revolutionize and reshape the core principles of IT and security architectures,” said Fey, CEO and co-founder of Island. “The unwavering support across multiple funding rounds has been pivotal in enabling Island to scale effectively, attract talent, and address our customers' most complex technological challenges."
