About CloudZero
Cloud cost management is one of the biggest challenges organizations face today. As cloud adoption continues to accelerate, so do the complexities and costs associated with it — and macroeconomic conditions only increase pressure to prove cloud efficiency. That’s why we built CloudZero: a SaaS platform at the intersection of next-generation cloud cost management and FinOps. CloudZero ingests billing and usage data from all cloud, SaaS, and PaaS providers, organizes it in real time according to our customers’ business structures, lets customers view it at any level of time or resource granularity, and ultimately empowers them to make more informed business decisions.
Since our founding in 2016, our mission has been to make efficient innovation a reality for every cloud-driven organization. At CloudZero, we believe every engineering decision is a buying decision, yet the cost conversation often bypasses the engineers who drive those determinations. To solve this, we’ve built a dynamic, single-page application that answers the complex, data-heavy questions every cloud-based organization needs to ask if they want to grow their company profitably.
To date, we’ve raised over $52 million from leading venture capital firms across the country. We’re solving problems of massive scale, business importance, and complexity in a space that needs it more than ever. We’re growing rapidly and would love for you to be a part of it!

What We Do
CloudZero is the only cloud cost intelligence platform that puts engineering in control by connecting technical decisions to business results.
CloudZero ingests cost data from AWS and Snowflake, organizes it for analysis, and delivers the insights to engineering teams who can understand how their work is impacting the business.
You can answer question like:
* Who are my most expensive customers?
* Which product, feature, and team is spending the most?
* Has the profitability of my product changed quarter over quarter?
The outcome is real-time intelligence that helps companies control their cost of goods sold (COGS) and gross margins — aligning engineering and finance teams once and for all.
