Taylor Otwell created Laravel as an attempt to provide a more advanced alternative to the [[CodeIgniter]] framework, which did not provide certain features such as built-in support for user [[authentication]] and [[authorization]]. Laravel's first [[beta release]] was made available on June 9, 2011, followed by the Laravel 1 release later in the same month.
On September 5, 2024, Laravel announced that they had received $57 million in [[Series A round|Series A]] funding from [[Accel (company)|Accel]].<ref>https://blog.laravel.com/accel-invests-57m-into-laravel</ref> == Framework History == Laravel 1 included built-in support for authentication, [[Language localisation|localisation]], [[Model (MVC)|models]], [[View (MVC)|views]], [[Session (computer science)|sessions]], routing and other mechanisms, but lacked support for [[Controller (MVC)|controllers]] that prevented it from being a true [[Model–view–controller|MVC]] framework.<ref name="maxoffsky" /> Laravel 2 was released in September 2011, bringing various improvements from the author and community. Major new features included the support for controllers, which made Laravel 2 a fully MVC-compliant framework, built-in support for the [[inversion of control]] (IoC) principle, and a [[Web template system|templating system]] called ''Blade''. As a downside, support for third-party [[Software component|packages]] was removed in Laravel 2.<ref name="maxoffsky" />
