A Frederick-based company you probably knew as Luminal has a new name.
The company is now called Fugue, reflecting the name of its cloud operating system, according to a release. The software is designed for businesses to maximize their use of the cloud on an infrastructural level.
The company announced $20 million in new funding, too. The Series C round was led by NEA, the venture capitalย giant with an office in Timonium. In a statement, NEA General Partner Henry Weller said Fugue is the “missing piece that will redefine the value proposition for businesses and spur the next wave of cloud adoption.โ€

Core Capital, which was a previous investor, also participated in the latest round. In all, Fugue has now raised $34 million.
In addition to its Frederick headquarters, the three-year-old startup also has offices in D.C., San Francisco and New York.
Among that money isย $600,000 the company received from the InvestMaryland fund in 2014. That funding prompted a move to Frederick from West Virginia.
