Self-serve infrastructure management platform Facets.cloud has raised $4 Mn in a seed funding round led by 3one4 Capital.
Other investors who participated in the round were 100x Entrepreneurs (now Neon), and prominent angels like Abhinav Asthana, Pallav Nadhani, Aneesh Reddy, Krishna Mehra, and Sreedhar Pedinneni, among others.
Facets.cloud aims to use this capital to expand in the US market, promote and advance the platform engineering philosophy, and enhance its product offerings.
Founded in 2021 by IIT Kharagpur alumni Anshul Sao, Pravanjan Choudhury and Rohit Raveendran, the startup helps improve developer productivity by streamlining cloud deployment workflows.
Facets.cloud was co-founded in 2021 by Anshul Sao, Pravanjan Choudhury, and Rohit Raveendran – all three are alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.
The platform enables self-service infrastructure management for companies with large and complex DevOps setups by automating the last mile of cloud delivery as a product – eliminating the need for organizations to build platforms in-house.
Before starting Facets, Choudhury worked as the Chief Technology Officer of Capillary Technologies for close to ten years. Anshul Sao previously served as Chief Architect at Capillary Technologies and worked at Yahoo, while Rohit Raveendran was the Principal Architect at Capillary.
