Clastix Raises €2.9 Mn Seed Funding to Scale Kubernetes Infrastructure

Clastix helps businesses manage and run Kubernetes more efficiently at scale. Its software is designed to make it easier for companies to handle large and complex infrastructure.

The funding round was led by CDP Venture Capital Sgr, with participation from Mistral and Vertis SGR through its Vertis Venture 6 Digital Sud fund. The fund is partly supported by the European Union’s Next-Generation EU programme.

“The next phase of AI won’t be decided by models alone but by who controls the infrastructure layer beneath them. This funding goes toward building that layer for what’s coming: expanding our R&D to better support AI-scale workloads, and growing our team to bring it into new markets as they build their AI infrastructure,” said Adriano Pezzuto, co-founder and CEO of Clastix.

“We are proud to support a team that combines engineering excellence, market vision, and global ambition. This investment reflects CDP Venture Capital’s commitment to backing strategic technologies developed in Italy that can strengthen Europe’s technological sovereignty and long-term competitiveness,” said Alessandro Scortecci, Chief Investment Officer for Direct Investments at CDP Venture Capital.

Clastix was founded in 2020 by Adriano Pezzuto and Dario Tranchitella. Before starting the company, both founders worked as engineers managing Kubernetes systems for large businesses.

The company develops infrastructure software that makes running Kubernetes at scale easier. Its tools help businesses reduce the time and effort needed to manage complex Kubernetes environments.
