ScaleOps raised 30M Series C at 00M valuation for autonomous K8s/AI GPU optimization; customers include Adobe, Wiz, DocuSign, Salesforce (March 2026).
ScaleOps is an autonomous cloud resource optimization platform that uses AI to continuously right-size and orchestrate Kubernetes workloads and AI infrastructure without requiring manual configuration. Founded to address the chronic problem of cloud waste and performance degradation in dynamic containerized environments, ScaleOps deploys AI agents that observe workload behavior in real time, predict resource needs, and automatically adjust CPU, memory, and GPU allocations to maximize efficiency and reliability simultaneously. The company's core insight is that static resource configurations are inherently suboptimal in environments where workload patterns change constantly.\n\nScaleOps integrates with Kubernetes-native infrastructure and extends to AI/ML workloads running on GPU clusters, making it particularly valuable as enterprises scale their AI training and inference pipelines alongside traditional application workloads. The platform operates autonomously—reducing the toil on platform engineering teams who would otherwise spend significant time manually tuning resource requests and limits. Key differentiators include zero-disruption optimization, support for heterogeneous workloads, and AI-driven anomaly detection that prevents resource contention before it impacts performance.\n\nIn March 2026, ScaleOps raised a $130M Series C at an $800M valuation, with customers including Adobe, Wiz, DocuSign, and Salesforce—a marquee roster that validates the platform's enterprise readiness. These customers represent organizations running complex, high-volume Kubernetes environments where even small efficiency gains translate to millions in cloud savings. ScaleOps sits at the intersection of FinOps and AI infrastructure optimization, a category that grows more strategically important as cloud AI spending accelerates.
CrowdStrike (CRWD) reported $3.95B ARR in FY2025 (ended Jan). Revenue $3.74B, up 29% YoY. Market cap ~$85B. 8,600+ employees. Austin, TX. AI-native cybersecurity platform. Charlotte AI for threat detection.
CrowdStrike is an AI-native cybersecurity company founded in 2011 by George Kurtz, Dmitri Alperovitch, and Gregg Marston and headquartered in Austin, Texas, that built the endpoint detection and response (EDR) category and has since expanded into the broadest cloud-native cybersecurity platform in the industry. The company was founded on the insight that traditional antivirus software — signature-based, retrospective, and endpoint-isolated — could not keep pace with sophisticated adversaries operating at machine speed. CrowdStrike's founding architecture, the Falcon platform, was designed cloud-native from day one: a single lightweight agent on the endpoint feeding a cloud-based AI that learns from trillions of security events across every customer simultaneously. The company trades on Nasdaq under the ticker CRWD.\n\nThe CrowdStrike Falcon platform consolidates more than 28 security modules across endpoint security, identity threat protection, cloud security, next-gen SIEM and log management, threat intelligence, and managed detection and response — all delivered through a single agent and unified console. The AI at the platform's core, Charlotte AI, provides conversational security operations, automated investigation, and AI-generated threat summaries that reduce analyst workload. CrowdStrike's threat intelligence team, Adversary Intelligence, tracks and names nation-state and criminal threat actors globally, giving customers predictive insight into campaigns before they hit their environments.\n\nCrowdStrike reported $3.95 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR) for FY2025 and total revenue of $3.74 billion, up 29% year over year, with a market capitalization of approximately $85 billion. The company has 8,600+ employees and counts a substantial share of the Fortune 500 and global governments as customers. Despite the July 2024 sensor update incident that caused a significant IT outage affecting millions of Windows systems globally, CrowdStrike's customer retention remained strong — a testament to the platform's depth of integration and the switching costs built into its consolidated architecture.
