ScaleOps, a startup that builds software to automatically manage and allocate computing resources in real-time, has secured $130 million in funding at an $800 million valuation. This significant investment comes as companies struggle to manage the increasing complexity of their AI workloads, leading to wasted resources and rising cloud costs. ScaleOps' software claims to reduce cloud and AI infrastructure costs by up to 80% by connecting application needs with infrastructure decisions in real-time. The company's solution aims to address the inefficiencies in managing computing resources, which can be caused by static configurations and underused GPUs.
ScaleOps was founded in 2022 by Yodar Shafrir, a former engineer at Run:ai, a GPU orchestration startup acquired by Nvidia. Shafrir recognized the difficulty companies face in managing complex AI workloads and saw an opportunity to develop a solution that provides a fully autonomous management of infrastructure. The company's software is designed to understand the context of each application, including its needs, behavior, and changing environment.
ScaleOps' Series C funding round was led by Insight Partners, with participation from existing investors, including Lightspeed Venture Partners, NFX, Glilot Capital Partners, and Picture Capital. This investment comes roughly a year and a half after ScaleOps raised $58 million in its Series B round in November 2024. The company has seen significant growth, with more than 450% year-over-year growth and a tripled headcount over the past 12 months.
