SUMMARY

  • Kestra has raised $25 million in a Series A round led by RTP Global with continued backing from Alven, ISAI, and Axeleo, bringing its total funding to $36 million.

The company builds an open-source orchestration platform that brings together data pipelines, AI workflows, infrastructure automation, and business processes into a single control layer.

As organisations operate across cloud, on-premise, and AI-driven environments, they often rely on fragmented tools that struggle to handle growing complexity.

Kestra addresses this with a unified orchestration solution that allows teams to manage workflows consistently across systems. Its platform supports hybrid and secure environments and features an extensible architecture with a wide plugin ecosystem.

The newly raised capital will be used to advance the development of Kestra 2.0, with a focus on improving distributed execution and enhancing real-time observability features.

The company also plans to grow its cloud offering, expand its presence across North America and Europe, and continue investing in its open-source ecosystem.

Most enterprise software companies try to sell top-down and hope developers adopt. We took a different approach, focusing on building a product that engineers choose because it works in production. That foundation continues to guide how we develop the platform, said Emmanuel Darras, CEO and co-founder of Kestra.
