Banzai Cloud’s Pipeline platform and Kubernetes distribution tames the complexity inherent in the development, deployment, and scaling of modern containerized applications. The platform seeks to bring the power of cutting-edge cloud and containerization technologies to a wide range of enterprises. “Runners focus on the race they’re running, not the materials their shoes are made of; they trust that their shoes will get them to the finish line,” says Kris Flautner, CEO of Banzai Cloud.

Banzai Cloud has closed its latest round of seed funding with a total investment of $2.5 million. The round was led by PortfoLion, a Central European venture capital and private equity fund, and included financing from FastVentures and Euroventures of Budapest, the latter being an angel investor that has been with the company since its foundation in 2017. “We’re very excited by this opportunity, by the exceptional team Banzai Cloud has brought together that will make them a force to be reckoned with in the world of enterprise computing.
