Bay Area-based Spacelift has secured $51 million in Series C funding, led by Five Elms Capital, with additional support from Endeavor Catalyst and Inovo VC.
According to a company blog post, the new capital will help accelerate product innovation and advance Spacelift’s mission to simplify automated infrastructure across sectors.
CEO Pawel Hytry wrote, “Most infrastructure platforms abstract the tools — or force you into theirs. We take a different approach: orchestrate whatever your team uses, apply policy everywhere and keep everything visible and in version control. Our goal isn’t to reinvent Terraform or Ansible — it’s to help teams manage them reliably at scale, with less friction and more governance.”
The funding also highlights Spacelift’s growing role in the open-source ecosystem, particularly through its leadership in OpenTofu, a community-driven Infrastructure as Code tool. OpenTofu now has over 600 contributors, more than 10 million total downloads and is widely adopted by enterprises including Oracle and Cisco.
