An 18 Million Dollar Milestone: From Seed to Series A in Five Months

And a promise to remain true to our open source roots.

We don’t need to tell you 2020 was a year of unprecedented challenges. Among them was the challenge of transitioning from in-person to remote all at once. Cloud computing provided a silver lining by reducing the friction of migration with suites of integrated native services and resources.

As we venture into the new post-pandemic world, we here at Stacklet see it as our mission to ensure these new clouds remain secure, visible, and cost-efficient. With policies right out of the box developed with a strict adherence to cloud best practices, we want to free engineers so they can innovate rather than rebuild the policy wheel.

And we know we are on to a good thing. We are honored by the contributions developers make to Cloud Custodian. These contributions continue to build a stronger Cloud Custodian, making us one of the most widely used cloud governance platforms.

With the proven success of Cloud Custodian, Stacklet caught the attention ofAddition,Foundation Capital, and individual investorLiam Randall. Now we have the resources we need to hire more great minds, further develop the Stacklet platform, and continue to support and grow the Cloud Custodian community.

So while we are excited to announce our Series A funding closed with $18m, we are also humbled by our open source roots. In an article from Frederic Lardinois at TechCrunch, our founders Kapil Thangavelu and Travis Stanfield share more about our mission here at Stacklet and how we plan on ensuring the cloud remains a help and not a hindrance to our evolving remote world.
