The infrastructure game has always been messy, spaghetti wires in the cloud, tools bolted together like a backyard science project, and teams praying their Terraform configs don’t explode on deploy. Most folks patch and pray. But Spacelift? They saw the chaos and built the orchestration layer that finally gives engineering teams what they’ve always needed: control without compromise.
This week, Spacelift locked in $51 million in Series C funding, with Five Elms Capital leading the charge and strong support from Endeavor Catalyst and Inovo Venture Partners. That brings their total war chest to $73.6 million, not bad for a team that started just five years ago. And unlike some in the space still figuring out their product market fit, Spacelift’s platform is already humming across Redfin, Duolingo, Moody’s, Checkout.com, and SailPoint, managing thousands of deployments across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud like it’s just another Tuesday.
You don’t build that kind of momentum by accident. It’s the result of a clear vision from Paweł Hytry (Co-founder & CEO) and Marcin Wyszynski (Co-founder & CPO), who didn’t show up to iterate, they showed up to orchestrate. Marcin brings serious muscle from his time building infra tooling at Google and Facebook, while Paweł has been stacking wins since FitPass and foodpanda. Together, they’ve built a company that’s grown headcount by 29% in the past year and doubled revenue in 2024 with zero signs of letting up.
And the product? Pure precision. We’re talking AI-powered automation, policy-as-code enforcement via OPA, drift detection, self service workflows, and support for every IaC flavor from Terraform and OpenTofu to Pulumi, Kubernetes, and Ansible. That’s not just orchestration, it’s the backbone of enterprise-grade DevOps. With SOC2 Type II certification, SSO, and MFA baked in, this thing’s as secure as it is smart.
But the quiet flex? Spacelift isn’t just using open source, they’re helping lead it. As a founding contributor to OpenTofu, with engineers sitting on the Technical Steering Committee, they’ve invested in the ecosystem that powers their customers. That’s long-term conviction, not short-term PR.
This latest raise is fuel for the next push, deeper AI integration, more seamless multi-cloud support, and scaling their enterprise go-to-market machine globally. The infrastructure orchestration market is exploding, and Spacelift isn’t just in the mix, they’re architecting the blueprint.
