👁️🗨️ Investor’s perspective:
“Their innovative approach sets a new standard for infrastructure automation, making it accessible, understandable and powerful.” – Joe Onofrio, Five Elms Capital
💡 It will be spent on… Accelerating product innovation and their journey towards building real operating system for infrastructure, expanding enterprise adoption, and advancing AI-powered infrastructure automation.
💬 In their own words: “Most infrastructure platforms abstract the tools—or force you into theirs. We take a different approach: orchestrate whatever your team uses, apply policy everywhere, and keep everything visible and in version control.
Our goal isn’t to reinvent Terraform or Ansible—it’s to help teams manage them reliably at scale, with less friction and more governance.” – shared Paweł Hytry, CEO in the company’s blog.
💪 Their specialty… Spacelift orchestrates infrastructure as it truly exists: hybrid, multicloud, multi-team, and messy—bringing automation, policy, and visibility into a unified platform.
🔑 Business model: Likely SaaS-based, charging enterprise clients for access to the orchestration platform and features like policy enforcement, automation, and governance
📊 Traction: Used by top-tier global enterprises across finance, healthcare, software, and government. They are also the largest sponsor of OpenTofu, which underscores the company’s leadership in the open-source community.
