Augmentt Technology Inc just lit up the MSP world with a funding move that feels less like a Series A and more like a transmission from the future. Camber Partners stepped in with an 18M investment, and the timing hits with the precision of a system ignition sequence when every variable is locked, aligned, and green-lit. Microsoft 365 has turned into the modern office’s wild frontier, and MSPs have been left policing it with little more than duct tape and caffeine. Augmentt shows up offering actual order, giving MSPs visibility, automation, and control without turning their day into a juggling act.
Derik Belair built this company like someone who understands what happens when the cloud revolution stops being a buzzword and becomes the entire OS of work. SolarWinds, Corel, the Canadian Armed Forces, every certification, every arc of his career pointed toward a world where MSPs needed clarity across a mess of tenants that kept getting messier. Pair that with Gavin Garbutt, who scaled N able Technologies into one of the defining MSP platforms of its generation, and suddenly Augmentt becomes less of a startup story and more of a return of two operators who know exactly how high the stakes have become.
Camber Partners, represented by Duncan McGillivary, does not chase noise. Their playbook centers on operators, data, and efficiency, and Augmentt checks every box. This is not a spray-and-pray round. It is targeted fuel for a company already scaling with intention. From the early 1.5M in angel capital to global expansion including a Sydney office, Augmentt has been building the spine MSPs need. The leadership bench is stacked with Chris Allen driving sales, Matt Cave steering engineering, and Steve Burwash locking down finance and operations. It is a roster that feels more like a command center than a startup org chart.
The market itself is under pressure. MSPs are battling rising labor costs, regulatory sprawl, and clients who want speed, transparency, and bulletproof security all at once. Microsoft 365 became the world’s most universal attack surface. Augmentt stepped straight into that fire with modules for discovery, automation, MFA management, compliance mapping across CIS, NIS2, ISO, NIST, SOC2, policy enforcement, and a data engine covering 23K+ SaaS apps. Even the freemium program signals confidence. When a company gives away MFA and security visibility for free, it is because the paid product does not need a hard sell.
This round is not a victory lap. It is acceleration. The MSP ecosystem has been waiting for a platform that does not just plug leaks but elevates the entire operation. Augmentt is positioning itself to be that foundation, and with this 18M shot of momentum, the industry just got its next major force.
