Today, I’m proud to share that Spacelift has raised $51M in Series C funding, led by Five Elms Capital, with participation from Endeavor Catalyst and Inovo VC.
It’s a milestone, not a destination.
Infrastructure is at a crossroads. Complexity is accelerating. Talent is scarce. Teams are stretched. And the bar for velocity, governance, and scale has never been higher. What was once the realm of a few DevOps experts is now the beating heart of every modern company. Infrastructure is no longer just automation – it’s leverage.
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.
We support infrastructure as it really exists: hybrid, multicloud, multi-team, messy. And we make that manageable.
This round accelerates our journey toward a real operating system for infrastructure—one that makes self-service safe, policy-driven, and repeatable. One that treats multicloud as a first-class concern, not an afterthought. And one that will let machines and humans work side by side to describe, provision, and operate the systems behind every modern application or product.
We’re building for a world where infrastructure isn’t just automated—it’s accessible, intelligent, and shared.
We’ll continue investing in governance, developer experience, and open-source leadership. OpenTofu is already powering production at companies like Oracle, Cisco, and Fidelity, with over 10 million downloads and hundreds of contributors. We’re proud to be its largest sponsor.
Of course we are not on this journey alone.
To the companies trusting us with your infrastructure—thank you.
To the platform teams who chose us for what we build, not just what we say—thank you.
To our partners who are helping us scale our reach—thank you.
To the Spacelift team: none of this happens without you. Your ambition, clarity, and care continue to push this company forward.
And to the broader community helping shape the future—we’re lucky to be building it with you.
