Ukrainian-American Startup Stackbooster Raises $100K to Launch AI-Driven Kubernetes Platform
Stackbooster, a Ukrainian-American startup focused on cloud infrastructure and application optimization, has raised $100,000 in pre-seed funding from an angel investor. The company has also officially launched its AI-powered Kubernetes management platform.
What’s Known
- Stackbooster is a graduate of the YEP accelerator. According to the accelerator, the funding helped the team reach key development milestones.
- The company has now opened a $2 million seed round to further develop its product, expand into new markets, and grow its team — specifically hiring ML engineers, Go developers, and marketing professionals.
About Stackbooster
- Stackbooster solves one of the most pressing problems of modern tech companies — inefficient use of cloud resources. Their AI platform allows companies to reduce cloud costs by up to 80%, automating both vertical scaling within applications and horizontal scaling between cluster nodes. Under the hood is their own ML orchestration that allocates resources in real time, preventing downtime or excessive capacity usage.
- The company was founded by two Ukrainians: Alex Sharabudinov, a serial entrepreneur with five startups under his belt and experience scaling technical teams to over 1,500 developers, and Volodymyr Lebedev, an AWS cloud infrastructure expert who built a consulting firm with over 50 certified engineers.
«Our mission is to eliminate the tradeoff between cost and performance in cloud infrastructure,» said CEO and founder Alex Sharabudinov. «We built Stackbooster to solve the challenges we faced directly when managing enterprise Kubernetes environments. By intelligently automating vertical and horizontal scaling using ML, we deliver unprecedented cost savings without compromising speed and reliability. With the early results we’ve achieved and the support of our initial investor, we’re excited to scale up and bring these benefits to more companies.»
- The initial $80,000 investment enabled Stackbooster to run pilot programs with select customers. According to the company, the pilots showed promising results:
- 73% reduction in cloud infrastructure costs
- 20% faster application response times
- 30% reduction in DevOps team workloads due to automation
- Stackbooster is currently working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is in the process of forming partnerships with several major cloud providers, although their names have not yet been disclosed.
